Many say that Jammu is not a
place to visit, because they believe it is not safe to admire the beauty of its
snow covered peaks and amazing lakes, all the time fearing an attack by the
terrorist.
I too was among them, until I
experienced the peacefulness of the place by myself. The moment I got off the
train at Jammu Tawi station, I got surprised to find the place filled with gun-carrying
soldiers. However they were not present there to frighten the visitors, but to
help them in finding their way in the city.
My first visit after the hotel
was the Bahu fort. It was built by Raja Bahulochan almost three centuries ago,
the fort stands towering on a single rock, looking over the Tawi River.
