Jammu

Mostly getting its fame by being home to the popular shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi, the Jammu region in the newest Union Territory of India, is ideal to plan a holiday. The region of Jammu might have been a little overshadowed by the beauty of Kashmir, but it has tremendous tourism potential with numerous religious places to seek the blessings of the almighty; offbeat mountainous places that are ideal for trekking and biking adventure; and rich culture to understand about the region better.

Jammu is essentially a good break from the monotony, one can holiday here for not only seeking spirituality in its many sacred places like Mata Vaishno Devi, Raghunath Temple, Peer Koh Cave, Dera Baba Banda, but also enjoy a hill holiday in its tourist destinations of Patnitop and Doda. Nature lovers can fall in love with Jammu’s beautiful lakes like Mansar Lake and the ethereal beauty of Patnitop and Doda. Wildlife enthusiasts can get their share of thrill at Kishtwar National Park.

Jammu isn’t only about family holiday and spiritual tour, it is also about indulging in spine-chilling adventures on lesser-known trails in Kishtwar. The historic town of Poonch also has a memorable experience to impart and so does the region’s largest city, Jammu that is home to several heritage sites and temples.
