Detail InformationEdit

Panchtarni is located at a distance of 13 km from the Sheshnag Lake and about 40 km away from Pahalgam. The spot is named so, as it is situated at the confluence of five streams. Panchtarni is the last stoppage of the Amarnath Yatra as a narrow spiralling 6 km path leading to the Amarnath Cave. The site is most popular for camping.

HistoryEdit

Panchatarni is the final halting spot before one reaches Amarnath. On commencing the journey from Holy Sheshnag, one travels 14 km to reach a height of 14000 feet to Mahagunas Pass, before descending downhill to reach Panchatarni. According to Hindu mythology, Panchtarni gets its name from the fact that the five rivers meeting here originate from Lord Shiva’s hair, making it a holy spot for the Hindus, and thus the name “Panch” meaning five, and “tarni” meaning river.
