About Shiv Khori
A natural cave in the hills near Ransoo, about 80 km from Katra, with a self formed Shiva lingam deep inside and a big fair on Mahashivratri. The last stretch is a short trek on a stepped path, and the cave is narrow and damp, so wear sturdy footwear. The road passes through hills and forest, and the drive itself is part of the pleasure.
What to see and do
- Natural Shiva lingam in a cave
- Ransoo base village
- Mahashivratri fair
- Forest road from Katra
- Cool, narrow cave passage
Part of The Himalaya.
