Itinerary

This is one of the most onerous but very thrilling and exciting pilgrimages in India that is popular with the Shiva devotees. Perched at a height of 3,888 m at the farther end of Lidder Valley in the beautiful state of Jammu and Kashmir, there is a cave (150 ft high and 90 ft long) that Lord Shiva chose to divulge the secret of immortality to his inquisitive consort Goddess Parvati. A secret, that was not to be heard by anyone else but for the goddess.
