About Shivkhori in Jammu

Shivkhori or Shiv Khori Temple is actually a famous cave shrine that is located in the Resai district of Jammu and Kashmir in India. Shiv Khori Temple is revered among Hindu devotees especially because of the fact that the cave shows the natural formation of “shiva lingam”. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, Shiv Khori is one of the most sacred cave shrines in the entire region. The cave of Shiv Khori is 150 metres long, and is home to the 4-feet high Swayambhu Lingam, which is continuously bathed in milk that drips from the ceiling. One of the most interesting things about the cave is that it is characterized by natural impressions and images of several Hindu deities. Nestled across picturesque routes covered with mountains, lakes and valleys, Shivkhori, fondly known as "Home of Gods", is visited by lakhs of pilgrims every year.

Legend About Shivkhori Temple

Legend has it that the Shiv Khori was a resting place for Goddess Parvati and Nandi when they fled away from Bhasmasur to save their lives. Bhasmasur, after years of prayers to Lord Shiva, had acquired a blessing that allowed him to kill anyone on the earth, especially Lord Shiva who was already aware of this intention. On their way to a safer location, Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati and Nandi chose to rest at Shivkhori. Bhasmasur, who found out that the Lord is resting here, got into violent combat against him. But Lord Shiva won in the end and decided to let Bhasmasura live. It is believed that the cave into being when Lord Shiva threw his Trishul on this land only to make a passage for him, Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha to pass through. Another important fact about the cave is that nearly 330 million Hindu deities have manifested in the Shivkhori cave over the ages.

Shivkhori Cave

Shiv Khori cave, a naturally formed cave, is 200-metre long and three metres in height and one metre wide. An idol, Shiva Lingam, which is placed inside the cave shrine is actually a four-feet tall structure which has been formed naturally. The Cave has a spacious entrance which can easily accommodate up to 300 people in just one go. The path which starts from the entrance continues into an inner, comparatively small chamber. The passage is so narrow and the ceiling is so low that only one person can crawl or crouch through the passage.

    Ranjith's 5 days trip to Jammu

    My recent trip to Kashmir with Adorable Tours was exceptional. Ms. Khushboo, my trip coordinator and she maintained constant communication with us, demonstrating a heartfelt concern for our well-being. She was there towards our entire trip and she gets regular updates from us as well as driver. N
    ow, let me take a moment to applaud our exceptional driver, Mr.Nisar. He was more than just a driver, he became our guide and a friend. We had excellent communication and understanding. Trip was executed as per planned. Hotel selection as perfect and Khushboo made everything easy for us, I won't tell this as a costly trip and she made it as luxury trip at low cost. We had language issues, but Khushboo was there to translate during shopping as well. I highly recommend Adorable Tours and Travels to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable travel experience. Thank you for making our dream vacation a reality!

    Avinash's 5 days trip to Jammu

    Booked Kashmir trip through travel triangle. Emaar was the travel agency that arranged our trip. Everything went well finally so nothing to complain. Zainab was the trip agent assigned to us. She was very helpful and accommodating. She was connected with us through-out the trip to check how it
    is going for us. There were some issues with hotel booking initially but that was sorted. Hotels that were initially selected and quoted for weren't available after a day. Luckily, alternate hotels offered turned out to be good except in Pahalgam. During peak tourist season, it's difficult to trust their words on hotels availability. Need to be a little careful before making advance payment. It was a good experience overall. I would recommend Emaar to anyone planning trip to Kashmir.

    Deepakkumar's 7 days trip to Jammu

    I appreciate the Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travel for their effort put into organizing the trip, there are a few areas that I believe could be improved upon for future travelers. Firstly, the accommodation provided was quite far from the main sightseeing points. This resulted in excessive travel tim
    e and added inconvenience during our trip. It would be beneficial to consider accommodations that are closer to the key attractions to enhance the overall experience for travelers. Additionally, I noticed that some of the local services and experiences arranged through your agency were priced at a premium, comparable to rates charged to foreign visitors. It would be advantageous for your agency to establish partnerships with local providers to ensure fair and reasonable pricing for travelers, thus enhancing the value proposition of your packages. Overall, I believe addressing these points would significantly improve the quality of service offered by your agency and enhance the satisfaction of travelers like myself. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to seeing improvements in future travel experiences. Best Regards, Deepak Kumar Rai By sending a message, you agree to our Terms.

    Vijay's 6 days trip to Jammu

    I booked an 8 days, 7 nights package of Kashmir with hermosa travels through travel triangle. From the beginning Hermosa representative was very proactive and courteous in her support. Janat from hermosa quickly created the plan and was in constant touch to tweak and improve the itinerary according
    to the needs of me and my family that includes small kids. She give me over 7-8 different options, multiple hotel choices and she was very helpful in ensuring our needs were met while also suggesting her own improvements based on her local experience. The booking, quotes etc was very smooth. Janat reminded us on time to book the Gulmarg gondola's which are limited. Farah also from Hermosa then ensured our travel was smooth and everything was taken care of. During our trip, we rarely had to call Hermosa for anything as everything was arranged and planned really well. The driver (Iqbal) was amazing and flexible to our needs. He gave good suggestions and ensured we did not fall into the trap of guides or other tourist frenzies in each location. Overall the complete experience with Hermosa was amazing starting with booking, hotels, cab to the arrangements at the hotels as well. I would strongly recommend Hermosa for anybody planning a trip to Kashmir. Thanks for great memories. Vijay
