Pikme specializes in guiding pilgrims through the two primary routes to the sacred Amarnath Cave: the traditional Pahalgam route and the shorter Baltal route. Our expert team provides detailed analysis of each path's characteristics, including terrain difficulty, altitude variations, available facilities, and estimated completion times.
Through our extensive experience and local knowledge, we help pilgrims choose the most suitable route based on their physical fitness, time constraints, and preferred pilgrimage experience. The Pahalgam route, spanning approximately 46 kilometers, offers a more gradual ascent and follows the traditional path taken by ancient saints.
