Amarnath Yatra Boon: Horse Owners’ Business Booms

Every year, lakhs of pilgrims from across the country visit the holy cave of Amarnath via Pahalgam and Baltal Sonamarg. Pandemic restrictions were lifted this year after a two-year hiatus, so large congregation was once again witnessed for the yatra. And horse owners (pony walas) benefit greatly during the Amarnath yatra. One can see a spark in the eyes of Pony walas as there is good business during the season thanks to the Amarnath yatra.
