Correct answer
Explanation
The Amarnath Cave is located in Jammu & Kashmir at an altitude of 3,888 meters in the Himalayas. It contains a natural Shiva lingam formed from ice and is a major Hindu pilgrimage site, especially during the annual Amarnath Yatra in summer. Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh do not contain this cave, which is specifically in the Lidder Valley of Anantnag district. The cave remains accessible only for a short period each year due to snow.
