A batch of 226 pilgrims left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu on August 3 to pay obeisance at the 3,880-metre-high cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir Himalayas, officials said.
The 43-day yatra commenced on June 30 from the twin base camps - traditional 48-km Nunwan-Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag and 14-km shorter Baltal in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district.
The 34th batch left in a convoy of nine vehicles amid heavy security of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), they said.
