The Amarnath Yatra is an annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath Cave in Jammu and Kashmir, India, which is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. The pilgrimage is considered one of the holiest in Hinduism and attracts thousands of devotees from all over India and other parts of the world.

The yatra usually takes place during the months of June to August, and the dates are announced by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) closer to the time of the yatra. The pilgrimage involves trekking through rugged terrain, and pilgrims have to face several challenges like high altitude, harsh weather conditions, and difficult terrain.
