About Baba Dhansar
A forest shrine near Katra, where a small stream drops into a cave pool and a Shiva temple stands beside it. The water is cool, the setting is quiet and it is a good short trip for pilgrims who want a break after the yatra. Visit early in the day, as the lane and the cave can be slippery after rain.
What to see and do
- Cave temple with a stream
- Cool pool and small cascade
- Forest approach
