The climb starts from here. After a three -kilometer climb, it reaches the flea top. From here, walking from here on foot, pilgrims reach Sheshnag. This journey is about 9 km. Is of The next day the pilgrims go from Sheshnag to Panchtarni. It is about 14 km from Sheshnag. This cave is 6 km from Panchatarni.
2. Baltal route:
If the time is short, the Baltal route can be used to see Baba Amarnath. It has only 14 km climb. However, this is quite direct climb. Therefore, the elderly have difficulty in walking this path. Roads on this route are narrow and have dangerous turns.
