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.

    Aditya's 6 days trip to Jammu

    Well our experience with Jolly Holidays was good. As always its time to read good and bad things about our experience: Good experience: 1. We only booked cab and only 1 night stay at hotel with Jolly holidays at 20k for 5D6N We covered Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Gulmarg 2. Uneeba , our travel consultant
    was empathetic and helped throughout our vacation at Srinagar 3. Cab Driver, Aashik was helpful and always on time for pickups and drops 4. We were taken for site seen on time by our driver and always helped us throughout our vacation Bad experience: 1. You have to keep a time check on your itinerary and when you visit all places and do-not trust anyone, i feel itinerary planning should be arranged by travel agents. For us we felt that we missed many places such as Aru and Betab Valley; zeropoint at Sonamarg; Gardens at Srinagar and many more 4. We felt cheated many times in our travel period due to union cabs, pony’s and others so if you are reading this review please be careful and do-not trust anyone, yes anyone. One example : this is at pahalgam pony ride, we gave 5500/- for two ponys till baisaran valley however we met two couples at baisaran they hired pony for 2k for two ponys and other 1500/- for two pony. We went blank when we heard about it. Another example of thug happened when we visited a shop in recommendation of our travel partner there we purchased a semi-pashmina shawl at 3200/- and after that we went dal lake and visited another shop by our own and we saw same shawl, exact same shawl for only 1500/- without bargaining so please be careful when you visit Srinagar Summary: it was good experience with jolly holidays however they need to learn with travellers experience and provider better services. I will definitely rebook my vacation through jolly. Thank you!! Sonamarg

    We book this trip thru Travel Triangle and they connected us with Breath taking Holidays, Mr. Aqib. Aqib was so supportive and completely understood our requirement and tailor-made an amazing package. Shikara ride, hotel, food, houseboats were really really nice and mostly importantly the driver, Ra
    shid Bhai. Raashid bhai is so perfect with his driving skills, routes etc. He helped us with each and every activity we did on the tour right from bargaining for the horse rides, local shopping and got us to have the delicacies of kashmir. We would highly recommend Breath Taking holidays

    Md's 7 days trip to Jammu

    We recently completed a 9-day trip to Kashmir from 29 June to 07 July 2024, and we booked our cab through Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Itinerary Planning: Faisal did an outstanding job helping us plan our itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully
    considered, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip for our group, which included seven adults (four senior citizens) and two kids. Communication: Mr. Wani and Mrs. Afreen created a WhatsApp group to provide daily updates and were in continuous touch with us throughout our journey. Despite our trip coinciding with the Amarnath Yatra, they ensured everything went smoothly. Driver: A trip is made memorable by the group, but the travel and journey part is made memorable only with an excellent driver. A special mention goes to our driver, Mr. Manzoor. He was a soft-spoken and polite gentleman who was always open to changes in our plans. Mr. Manzoor's guidance was invaluable—he provided excellent suggestions for sightseeing, dining, and local experiences while always respecting our inputs and preferences. His punctuality, local knowledge, and friendly demeanor significantly enhanced our trip. Value for Money: We were provided with a brand new Innova Crysta at almost half the price compared to their peers in the entire Kashmir region. This added tremendous value to our trip without compromising on comfort and convenience. Overall, we highly recommend Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels for anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. Their excellent service and attention to detail made our trip truly memorable. Doodhpatri Pahalgam
