Vivanta Jammu, City Centre

Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu & Kashmir, sits pretty in the Shivalik Hills, on the banks of the River Tawi. The great Northern plains of India lie at Jammu’s feet, while the lofty Himalayas stretch out towards the heavens in the distance. Geographically, traditionally and strategically significant, Jammu is a city steeped in history. Having been carried on the wings of time through the Harappan civilization; the Vedic age; the Maurya, Kushan and Gupta empires; and the Dogra kingdom. The Dogras, in fact, crowned Jammu as their capital. Today, this ancient city has acquired a hallowed status as one of India’s most important pilgrimage centres. Shikhars of sacred temples, cupolas of revered gurudwaras and domes of mosques and mausoleums dot the city skyline. Jammu is also the starting point for the yatras to Amarnath and Vaishno Devi. Our recently renovated luxury hotel, Vivanta Jammu, City Centre, puts you right in the heart of Jammu. The sacred River Tawi flows serenely alongside. The administrative hub of the city is minutes away. And the ancient Bahu Fort (home of the powerful and mystical Bawe Wali Mata temple), the Raghunath Temple, the Gurudwara of Maharani Chand Kaur and the heritage corridors of Jammu are all in the vicinity.
