点评:I want to share my experience of Amarnath Yatra 2023 for the devotees /pilgrims of next year. My wife , me and other four friends started from Pahalgaon by helicopter to visit the holy cave on 11.7.2013. We reached Panjtarni at 11 A.M. From where we have booked pony to reach the holy cave .Pony ride tested our patience as it took almost two hours to reach the dropping point marked before the cave. We have to walk almost 1.5 km to reach the holy cave. Oxygen level at this height was very less that took a heavy toll on our stamina. However the view and scenery of the entire path was so amazing that we have forgot the tiredness of journey . It took another 45 minutes merely to deposit the belongings as there was limited number of locker rooms. Then we have queued for darshan. Though the queue was not too long but it took almost two and half hours to climb 200 + steps to reach the holy cave and have darshan of Lord Shiva. We have full of satisfaction after darshan of Lord Shiva, Baba Barfani and Maa Parvati. We were lucky enough to see two pigeons in front of Cave. We have some strange feelings and it was a life time experience . However our return journey was not smooth rather it was very much scary. As Amarnath Darshan / yatra was remained suspended for preceding two days it was expected that number of pilgrims/ Darshanarthi will be large on 11th. But no precautionary measure was seen to be taken by the administration. After darshan we have reached the place where we have got down from pony. Sorry state of affairs started from this point. There were thousands of ponies, palkis and devotees travelled by foot. There was lack of proper management to control the crowd. Every body wanted to go first by pushing or elbowing. There was complete chaos and some of the devotees were fell down from pony and got hurt. We were standstill riding on pony almost one hour. There was no management to control the crowd. We were compelled to travel in night after waiting for hours to make path for our pony. Even two of our companions fell down from their pony. We were lucky enough returned safely with blessings of Lord Shiva. My suggestions to the devotees (i) Try to book pony from Shrine Board agent only (ii) Keep with everyone water and dry fruits to overcome unavoidable situation. (iii) For senior persons and others who are not physically strong enough it will be better to take palki instead of pony.
