Peer Kho Cave​

Peer Kho Cave

The Temple of Peer Kho Cave is located along the River Tawi.

Jamvant, the beer god of Ramayana, is believed to have been meditating in this cave. There are 12 shiva lingams made of crystal in the temple of Ranbireshwar. It was built in 1883 AD by Maharaja Ranbir Singh.

Katra Vaisho Devi

Located in the hills of Trikuta, 13 km from Katra, at an altitude of 1560 m above sea level with bright clouds and thinning air, this town is the holy cave temple of Mata Vaishnodevi, with its spirituality and vibrant atmosphere lingering.

Revered and deeply believed, thousands of pilgrims visit this temple every year to seek blessings and to show unbridled faith. Vaishno Devi is a religious hiking destination where pilgrims walk 13 km uphill to reach one of the 108 Shakti Peetha caves. Vaishno Devi, also referred to as Mata Rani, is a manifestation of Durga, a Hindu mythology goddess.

The trek itself is very pleasant, although it may be a bit difficult for children and the elderly. Ponies and palanquins are, however, available from various vendors to take you to the top. The entire route is decently paved with many shops selling snacks, food and various religious products.

The pilgrims demonstrate their dedication and enthusiasm by shouting slogans and singing songs in Maa Vaishnavi ‘s praise all the way. In general, a great place if you are both inclined to Hinduism and nature.
