Overview

Embark on trip to Jhilmil Cave from Rishikesh. Explore the ancient cave where Baba Gorakhnath meditated, visit the sacred Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, and enjoy panoramic Himalayan views. Travel in private car about 25 km from Rishikesh, visit hidden Jhilmil Cave (Jhilmil Gufa) , formed thousands of years ago in the Manikoot Parvat region. Believed to be named after Jhilmila Sadhu, is dedicated to Baba Gorakhnath.
The forest trek is adventurous, especially during monsoons, but rewards with serenity and sweeping views. Inside, experience powerful cave acoustics while chanting “Om.” Nearby Ganesh Gufa and Hanuman Gufa add spiritual charm. This offbeat trek offers solitude, spirituality, and a deep connection with nature.
