About Bahu Fort in Jammu

The history of Bahu Fort is as old as the history of the Jammu city. Bahu Fort, Jammu, is one of the most beautiful historical places situated on the banks of the Tawi river. The architectural style of the fort is influenced by Mughal architectural style. Sandstones and brinks are the backbones of this marvelous fort. The fort is also one of the most visited structures situated in Jammu district. It is situated at a distance of 4.1 km from the Jammu Tawi Railway and only 5 km away from the city center.

History of Bahu Fort

The history of Bahu Fort dates back to over 3000 years back when it was established by Raja Bahucholan. Later, renovations were made during the Dogra dynasty. The city is known to be named after the then king of the Dogra Dynasty, Raja Jambu Lochan. As per legends, Raja Jambu Lochan appeared at this place while hunting and got awe-struck by the beauty of the place. Years later, his brother Raja Bahucholan established the fort. The fort was rebuilt again in the year 1585. The present structure of the fort was built by Maharaja Gulab Singh.

Madhuparna's 5 days trip to Jammu

The service of Breathtaking holiday was good, the driver, Mr Imran Bhi, was really good and helpful person. Mr Aqib of Breathtaking holiday made our holiday a memorable one but that last moment an extra charge of card payment of 1100 was bit disappointment, as we clearly had a conversation with Travel triangle that if we pay the amount by card directly to BTH we don't have to pay anything extra, Aqib also confirmed us the same but in the last moment at Kashmir he asked for a charge on card ( when we pay to any hotel by card, they never take an extra charge) that was the logic that Travel triangle gave us & it obviously made sense to us. Rest the trip was good and we enjoyed a lot.

Kutturameshnair's 7 days trip to Jammu

One ot 2 rooms provided was too small even for 2 persons. And we had accommodated 3 persons by paying extra so our rooms should have been much bigger and comfortable. Our driver Mr. Sahil was very good and even our travels Ozzokashmir stand and owner was good and helped us throughout . Also changed our room once but then during booking itself I had mentioned that I need better rooms. But overall I would appreciate the travels Mr. Amir and Ms Ahana for their assistance and also the vehicle and its driver . Loved kashmir and gracious hosts. Thank You.

Deepakkumar's 7 days trip to Jammu

I appreciate the Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travel for their effort put into organizing the trip, there are a few areas that I believe could be improved upon for future travelers. Firstly, the accommodation provided was quite far from the main sightseeing points. This resulted in excessive travel time and added inconvenience during our trip. It would be beneficial to consider accommodations that are closer to the key attractions to enhance the overall experience for travelers. Additionally, I noticed that some of the local services and experiences arranged through your agency were priced at a premium, comparable to rates charged to foreign visitors. It would be advantageous for your agency to establish partnerships with local providers to ensure fair and reasonable pricing for travelers, thus enhancing the value proposition of your packages. Overall, I believe addressing these points would significantly improve the quality of service offered by your agency and enhance the satisfaction of travelers like myself. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to seeing improvements in future travel experiences. Best Regards, Deepak Kumar Rai By sending a message, you agree to our Terms.

Ranjith's 5 days trip to Jammu

My recent trip to Kashmir with Adorable Tours was exceptional. Ms. Khushboo, my trip coordinator and she maintained constant communication with us, demonstrating a heartfelt concern for our well-being. She was there towards our entire trip and she gets regular updates from us as well as driver. Now, let me take a moment to applaud our exceptional driver, Mr.Nisar. He was more than just a driver, he became our guide and a friend. We had excellent communication and understanding. Trip was executed as per planned. Hotel selection as perfect and Khushboo made everything easy for us, I won't tell this as a costly trip and she made it as luxury trip at low cost. We had language issues, but Khushboo was there to translate during shopping as well. I highly recommend Adorable Tours and Travels to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable travel experience. Thank you for making our dream vacation a reality!

Avinash's 5 days trip to Jammu

Booked Kashmir trip through travel triangle. Emaar was the travel agency that arranged our trip. Everything went well finally so nothing to complain. Zainab was the trip agent assigned to us. She was very helpful and accommodating. She was connected with us through-out the trip to check how it is going for us. There were some issues with hotel booking initially but that was sorted. Hotels that were initially selected and quoted for weren't available after a day. Luckily, alternate hotels offered turned out to be good except in Pahalgam. During peak tourist season, it's difficult to trust their words on hotels availability. Need to be a little careful before making advance payment. It was a good experience overall. I would recommend Emaar to anyone planning trip to Kashmir.

Vijay's 6 days trip to Jammu

I booked an 8 days, 7 nights package of Kashmir with hermosa travels through travel triangle. From the beginning Hermosa representative was very proactive and courteous in her support. Janat from hermosa quickly created the plan and was in constant touch to tweak and improve the itinerary according to the needs of me and my family that includes small kids. She give me over 7-8 different options, multiple hotel choices and she was very helpful in ensuring our needs were met while also suggesting her own improvements based on her local experience. The booking, quotes etc was very smooth. Janat reminded us on time to book the Gulmarg gondola's which are limited. Farah also from Hermosa then ensured our travel was smooth and everything was taken care of. During our trip, we rarely had to call Hermosa for anything as everything was arranged and planned really well. The driver (Iqbal) was amazing and flexible to our needs. He gave good suggestions and ensured we did not fall into the trap of guides or other tourist frenzies in each location. Overall the complete experience with Hermosa was amazing starting with booking, hotels, cab to the arrangements at the hotels as well. I would strongly recommend Hermosa for anybody planning a trip to Kashmir. Thanks for great memories. Vijay
