Top Attractions in Jammu
💡 Visit early morning before 8am to avoid queues and see the priests performing the aarti up close. Photography inside the main shrine is prohibited.
💡 Go to the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) section behind the main building – it's unrestored but eerily beautiful. Allow 45 minutes. Entry is free, but a small donation to the caretaker is appreciated.
💡 The garden is free and open until dusk. Go late afternoon when the light is golden and the garden is less crowded. The real view is from the fort's south wall – you can see the whole city spread out below.
💡 Take a shared auto from Raghunath Bazaar (20 rupees). The cave is small, so combine it with a visit to the nearby Bahu Fort. Wear sturdy shoes – the steps down to the cave are uneven and can be slippery. No photography allowed inside the innermost chamber.
💡 The entry fee is 20 rupees for Indians, 100 for foreigners – one of the cheapest palace museums in India. Go on a weekday to have the galleries almost to yourself. The café on the terrace has decent chai for 10 rupees.
