A chopper service  for Hindu pilgrims during Amarnath Pilgrimage, one of the most revered of Hindu shrines on July 01, 2011. near Baltal, Jammu and Kashmir, India. More than 5,000 Hindu devotees, braving sub-zero temperatures, began the hike over glaciers and along paths overhanging gorges to reach the sacred Amarnath cave housing an ice stalagmite, a stylized phallus worshiped by Hindus as a symbol of the god Shiva, enveloped by the rugged Himalayan mountains. The Kashmiri mountains near Srinagar are 3,800 metres above sea level and are home to an ice stalagmite resembling the Hindu god Shiva. About 200,000 Hindu pilgrims are expected to take part in this year's two-month pilgrimage, during which large numbers of Indian paramilitary soldiers and policemen are being deployed along the route as protection from attacks by militants who have been fighting for independence of Kashmir since 1989. Experts of the Indian National Geophysical Research Institute say rising temperatures and the activities of the pilgrims, such as burning wood and using diesel generators have put a lot of pressure on the ecosystem of the area.
