Description

Be it the many coloured flags that hang by the temples and shrines, or the tantalizing aromas that riseand diffuse from its delectable cuisine or even the snow-capped mountains that promise action and adventure, Jammu City is a must visit place of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu City is also called the 'City of Temples'. Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir is also a land of grand old temples and beautiful palaces.
Nestled against the backdrop of the snow-capped PirPanjal Mountains, the region of Jammu holds the southernmost unit of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It falls between the Himalayan range in the north and the dusty Punjab plains in the south. Between these two extremities lie a series of forested mountain ranges, river valleys and few scrub-covered hills. The Shivalik hills cut the area from the east to the west while the rivers Ravi, Chenab and Tawi cut their paths through the region.
