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.

    Travel experience was very nice and vegetarian food served in hotel met the expectation for Kashmir. But houseboat food quality was average and no seperate veg counter was available as requested. Dhoodhpathri ATV ride was fabulous experience and should thank Driver Yasir bhai for suggesting this loc
    ation when we missed the Gondola ride ticket. Snowfall also we could experience in Dhoodhpathri.

    My Experience with Ozzo Kashmir Holidays – A Well-Planned Trip I recently booked a Kashmir tour package with Ozzo Kashmir Holidays, and overall, my experience was quite good. The itinerary was well-planned, covering all the major attractions like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgam, and Doodhpathr
    i. From scenic landscapes to comfortable travel arrangements, everything was managed smoothly. Travel & Sightseeing Experience The sightseeing experience was fantastic. Each destination had its own charm—whether it was the breathtaking Dal Lake, the snow-covered Thajiwas Glacier, or the lush green meadows of Doodhpathri. I especially enjoyed the Shikara ride on Dal Lake, the Betaab Valley, and the Gondola ride in Gulmarg. The trip was planned in a way that allowed me to explore the beauty of Kashmir without feeling rushed. Transport & Driver Experience The driver assigned to us was very professional and well-mannered. His nature was friendly, and he guided us well throughout the journey. He made sure that our travel between different locations was comfortable and hassle-free. Hotel Reviews The hotels booked by Ozzo Kashmir Holidays were a mix of good and average experiences. Here’s my detailed review: Hotel Azara, Srinagar (2-star) – The service was average, and cleanliness was not up to the mark. (Rating: 2/10) Sea View, Srinagar – Service was good, and the stay was comfortable. (Rating: 8/10) Petals of Chinar, Srinagar – The worst hotel in the entire trip. No hot water for a bath, and the staff was not cooperative. (Rating: 1/10) Signature, Gulmarg – Service was excellent, and the stay was pleasant. (Rating: 8/10) Diamondstar, Pahalgam – A good experience, though there was room for improvement. (Rating: 7/10) Divineoak, Katra (2-star) – Service was just okay, nothing special. (Rating: 3/10) Overall Experience & Recommendation Apart from a couple of hotel experiences, the trip was well-organized, and I would recommend Ozzo Kashmir Holidays for their efficient planning and execution. The sightseeing was great, the transport was smooth, and the driver was cooperative. If they improve their hotel selection, the experience can be even better. Rating for the trip: 8/10 Would I recommend Ozzo Kashmir Holidays? Yes!

    Review - Kashmir trip with Guided trips Thank you for arranging our recent trip to Kashmir. Overall, the experience was okay, enhanced significantly by the beauty of the region itself. However, I wanted to provide some constructive feedback regarding the services provided. We found our assigned d
    river was not fully aware of our planned itinerary and required frequent reminders. His enthusiasm for showing us the sights seemed limited, leading us to believe he might not have been experienced in guided tours. We were also surprised to learn that our booking had been passed on to another agency. While the driver was punctual and the car was in good condition, we feel the level of coordination could have been significantly improved. As first-time visitors, we anticipated more proactive communication and guidance, perhaps a short daily check-in, to ensure everything was running smoothly. We also encountered an issue with another driver in Pehelgam, who seemed eager to cut our visit short. On the positive side, we greatly appreciate the 14-month credit you extended due to the original trip cancellation last year. The hotel you suggested was excellent, and the timely pick-up and drop-off arrangements were satisfactory. We hope this feedback is helpful. While the travel agency services were somewhat overshadowed by Kashmir's natural beauty, we still enjoyed our trip and are considering returning in another season. Thank you for your arrangements and looking forward to our next adventure.!!!! Time with snowy mountains.

    A Perfectly Planned Kashmir Trip with Exceptional Service! We recently traveled from Indore to Kashmir with our family and booked our tour package through Paradise Port Tour and Travels. It was truly a wonderful experience! Right from the start, the team was extremely professional and helpful. The
    lady who handled our booking was always in touch before and during the trip, ensuring everything was well-arranged. She even took care of booking all the rides in Kashmir and kept us informed about every place we visited. A special gesture that touched our hearts was when she surprised us with a birthday cake for our son during the trip—such a thoughtful act! A big shoutout to Iqbal Bhai, our cab driver, who made our journey even more special. He was always on time, drove safely, and guided us through all the must-visit places in Kashmir. His warm and kind nature made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Thanks to Paradise Port Tour and Travels for making our Kashmir trip so memorable! Highly recommended for anyone planning a hassle-free Kashmir vacation.
