JAMMU, July 27: More than 1,700 pilgrims left a base camp here for the Amarnath shrine in the south Kashmir Himalayas amid tight security early on Saturday, officials said.
More than 4.45 lakh pilgrims have so far paid obeisance at the naturally-formed ice lingam at the 3,880-metre high cave shrine, they said.
The pilgrim footfall at the shrine is likely to surpass last year’s tally of 4.5 lakh later in the day.
