Baltal is a camping ground for pilgrims as it provides a shorter high-altitude route to the famous Hindu shrine Amarnath.
On Thursday, following massive snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir, an avalanche struck the Baltal region, located along the Zojila Pass in the Sonamarg area.
A viral video shows the rapid fall of snow down the mountain, hitting electric poles and other “obstacles” in its way.
There was no immediate report of any loss of life, sources told Indian media.
