A combination photo shows Hindu holy men and pilgrims during their trek to holy cave of Lord Shiva in Amarnath, 141 km (87 miles) southeast Srinagar June 21, 2009. 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 3,800 metres (12,467 feet). There, devotees worship an ice formation that Hindus believed to be a symbol of Lord Shiva. REUTERS/Fayaz Kabli (INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIR RELIGION SOCIETY)
