Bahu Fort
Bahu Fort is one of the oldest structures in Jammu, believed to have origins going back roughly 3,000 years and rebuilt in its current form by the Dogra rulers. Within its walls sits the Bawe Wali Mata Temple, a popular pilgrimage site dedicated to the goddess Kali, along with the well-maintained Bagh-e-Bahu gardens and a small aquarium.
Its riverside position gives good views over Jammu city, and the combination of fort, temple, and gardens makes it a reasonably full outing for a single stop, appealing to both history-focused and casual visitors.
