Best places to visit in Jammu 

Vaishno Devi, Katra


There are a number of things you can do around Vaishno Devi. Some of these things are, sightseeing: there are several temples around the town of Katra. The most important temple is the Vaishno Devi temple. The temples hold a very special place in the hearts of Hindus all over the world. The scenic beauty of the area is also not to be missed, especially if you are travelling in the winter months when fog fills the area around the temple and you see everything in a blur but with spiritual eyes.

The Vaishno Devi Temple is the main reason why people often endure the cold weather in Katra and visit the top of the mountain. The jewelled sculpture of Mata Vaishno Devi attracts millions of pilgrims and devotees from all over the world every year. Although grudgingly cold winds often blow here, the Vaishno Devi temple seems to attract more and more devotees every year. The journey to the top of the mountain alone is an exhilarating experience that few people get to enjoy in their lifetime. Even if you are not a devotee, you can visit the temple simply for the fun of it and believe us, it is worth the fun.

Night trek to Mata Vaishno Devi

This trek is quite easy and can be done by anyone, including children. This hike to Vaishno Devi is sure to be memorable. Talking about the town, Katra is within Jammu, to be precise it is the last town of Jammu near its border. You can reach Katra by any means of transport.

Trekking/Horse Riding:


The climb to the top of Vaishno Devi is a difficult one and few people make it without being completely exhausted and out of breath. To make the climb easier, there are some people at the foot of the mountain who offer a ride on their donkeys or horses to the summit. It is a good idea to ride on an animal if you suffer from shortness of breath or get tired easily. The ride not only makes the ascent easier for you, but it is also fun to ride on a horse.

Sacred Cave of Shiv Khori

Another important place of worship that you must visit on your trip to Vaishno Devi is the cave of Shiv Khori. The best thing about the temple of Shiv Khori is that there is a wonderful story behind it, which you should definitely know. Besides, your trip would be incomplete if you only visit the Vaishno Devi temple and skip the Shiv Khori temple nearby.

Darjeeling Clock Tower - British colonial history and historical past.

 Darjeeling Clock Tower The Darjeeling Clock Tower is located in Darjeeling, an area rich in British colonial history and historical past. The regular tour operators no longer offer such guided walks. Why is that? Because not many locals are interested in Darjeeling's history anymore, as most are immigrants from Nepal, Sikkim and Tibbet. Since the 1800s, the British colonial administration has left behind many historical sites and historic houses, including memorials and monuments, church buildings, parks, faculties, clubs, etc. Darjeeling has centuries-old historic houses and dwellings that reflect traditional British architecture. Darjeeling is the largest tea producer in the world and is internationally known for its tea gardens that produce the "champagne of tea". Most of these extensive tea plantations were established at some point during colonial times and still thrive. Many still have the original planters' bungalows, preserving the old colonial charisma....
