Amarnath Yatra: Over 2,300 pilgrims leave from Jammu base camp

JAMMU: The fresh batch of over 2,300 pilgrims left a base camp here on Saturday to offer prayers at the 3,880-meter high holy cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir Himalayas, officials said.

Over 3.60 lakh pilgrims have so far visited the cave shrine since the commencement of the 38-day long yatra on July 3.

However, the footfall at the shrine has started decreasing over the past few days with the melting of the naturally formed ice-shivlingam. PTI
