Baltal, Indian Administered Kashmir 28th June 2013. A physically challenged Hindu devotee walk during his pilgrimage from Baltal Base Camp to the holy Amarnath Cave Shrine, in Baltal . Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims trek through treacherous mountains in revolt-torn Kashmir, along icy streams, glacier-fed lakes and frozen passes, to reach the Amarnath cave, located at an altitude of 3,857 meters (12,729 feet), where a Shiva Lingam, an ice stalagmite shaped as a phallus and symbolising the Hindu God Shiva, stands for worship.
