Kashmir is an ideal destination to plan a tour in jammu

Jammu is situated on a hillock, on the bank of river Tawi and is bound by Udhampur district in the north and northeast , Kathua district in the east and southeast, Pakistan (Sialkote) in west and Rajauri district and POK (Bhimber) in the northwest. Its skyline was once dotted with glittering spires of temples.

According to the epic Mahabharata, Jammu is regarded as one of the most sacred places of Hindu pilgrimage.

It is a city whose deep-rooted history, charm and character bear testimony to the unbroken civilization of India. An expression of this is in the layers and layers that form its marrow. For one, this is the winter capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir (nullthe government of this state shuttles between Srinagar and Jammu).

Apart from its importance as the seat of government and a place of pilgrimage in its own right, Jammu has large number of people that use it as a base for the pilgrimage to the shrine of Vaishno Devi and a stopover en route to the Kashmir valley.
