The 62-day-long Amarnath Yatra, which began on July 1 will culminate on August 31, 2023.
Meanwhile a fresh batch of pilgrims left from Srinagar's Pantha Chowk for the twin routes of Baltal and Pahalgam for their onward pilgrimage to Amarnath cave shrine.

Thousands of Amarnath Yatris traverse mountainous routes along Pahalgam and Baltal axis with much fervour to perform darshan at Holy Cave.
