There are langars in the route that offer free food to the pilgrims. One sip of the hot tea served in the cold here, and you will experience blissful journey. Near by holy cave, you can hire a tent at a reasonable price from the local organizers at night . I love baltal route to Amarnath cave because it short way to see the exciting Barfani Baba.
