Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir (Union Territory), India
Known as the City of Temples, Jammu is a gateway to Vaishno Devi and Kashmir with old palaces, forts and lakes.
Jammu sits on the banks of the Tawi river and is often called the City of Temples. It is the base for pilgrimages and for onward travel to Katra and the Kashmir valley.
Its palaces, forts and temples show the heritage of the Dogra rulers, and its markets are good for dry fruits, shawls and local snacks.
Jammu was the seat of the Dogra dynasty, and many of its palaces, temples and gardens date from that period. The Raghunath Temple complex and Bahu Fort are among its best-known historic sites.
