With a view of the Tawi River and situated in an acacia forest, Peer Kho Cave Temple is one of the earliest Shiva temples in Jammu. Constructed during the reign of Raja Biram Dev, the temple is well-known for its rich spiritual significance and natural tunnels. The most interesting thing to see is the holy cave where Guru Ghareeb Nath, a saint of the Gorakh Nath order, practiced meditation. Here, you can observe the three shikharas of the temple, a big courtyard, and caves devoted to Jambavant, Navadurga, and Lord Shiva.
Inside, you can view finely carved idols, a naturally occurring Shiva lingam, and old paintings on the ceilings. Find the path that goes to the Jambavant Cave, which is thought to be linked to Amarnath. During your Kashmir trip, as part of the Jammu and Kashmir tour packages, you can see statues of the goddess in all nine of her forms at the Navadurga shrine. Discover the temple complex, which also has a huge Shivlingam on the lawn, a Gorakhnath dhunni, and a Shani Dev shrine.
