Holy Cave is just 14 Kms
from Baltal and the distance can be covered by foot / Ponies.
However, Dandies are also available for handicapped and old
aged pilgrims.
The width of the pebbled (kuchha) road is a bit narrow as compared
to the Chandanwari-Holy Cave route,
moreover, there are some steep rises & falls on the way,
as compared to the Chandanwari route, but pilgrims can return
back to base camp Baltal through this route only in one day.
