Pissu Top is a renowned hilltop that lies en route to the Amarnath Cave, situated in the Anantnag district of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is perched at a significant height and offers picturesque views of the surrounding mountain ranges and valleys. Pissu Top holds historical significance as well and is encapsulated by mythological tales; it is said that the name originates from a local legend which narrates that there was a war between Gods and demons atop this hill, and the pile of dead demons metamorphosed into the towering hill, hence named 'Pissu Top.' The location is a common rest point for pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra, an annual pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva. The journey to Pissu Top itself can be challenging, involving a treacherous climb, but the reward lies in the incredible panoramic sights of the serene landscape below, making it an excellent vantage point for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
