Amarnath Yatra: Part 2: Sheshnag mountain and Panchtarni

On the route we took another photo of Sheshnag mountain, here it is:

There was a huge rush in the telephone booths, tents, and health centres. We were completely drenched at that time and were shivering. We took the tents and blankets for resting. After that we took medicines and went to sleep. Until late night I heard the announcements of missing people on loudspeakers and I don’t even know when I got slept. The next morning the weather was clear and we moved ahead. Enjoying the incredible beauty of the way we moved through Ganesh Top and reached Panchtarni. The journey to Panchtarni is over the Mahagunas Pass, which is 14000 feet or 4276 m. high. Pilgrims can then descend to Panchtarni, which is situated in a valley and can stay overnight in the tented camp in the meadow. A confluence of five rivers can be seen at Panchtarni. You can see the pictures which we took on the route:
