The annual Amarnath Yatra from Pahalgam is a significant pilgrimage for devotees of Lord Shiva. The journey involves trekking to the sacred Amarnath Cave, where an ice lingam of Lord Shiva forms naturally every year. The pilgrimage usually begins in July and continues for about a month, attracting thousands of pilgrims from across the country. Chandanwari serves as the starting point for the yatra, with facilities for accommodation, food, and medical assistance provided along the route to the cave.
