Though the people around Jammu region are quite aware of the place Jhajjar Kotli , But for the new people visiting this region , this info. is bit useful to get aware of the place.
JHAJJAR KOTLI:Its some 35kms from Jammu City little off the national highway from Jammu-Srinagar. Its on the bank of Jhajjar rivulet. Mostly visited during summer season.... as during monsoon ,one can encounter with flash flood situation.
It was one fine summer sunday morning , when jammu city was boiling at 43C , We both along with our closed friends family thought to go on a drive off to jhajjar kotli .....we went prepared with extra clothings & footwears aswell foodstuffs .....Now a days the drive upto Udhampur from Jammu City has become extra comfortable.... After crossing the Jammu bypass we took the Naograta bypass road............ Oh , what a drive thru'... the newly constructed bypass its a drivers delight to drive thru'...After the Katra cross,the jhajjar river bridge comes..... soon next there's a narrow road which goes left...should take it on & then a bit of up & down the hills ,upto the river bed..............
Soon after we reached the place, we were bit uncomfortable to drive across bolders & rocks to the river bed...My eye caught the sight of 2 cars driving thru' the waters of the rivulet. Its was very very hot outside & the sight of the waters just drove us all crazy... We had to drive in to the river itself, what an experience.... the car tyre was half submerged & we were moving ahead in the opposite flow of waters creating fountains of water on both side of the SUV....We stopped at one point by the bank & the both male person in our team wanted to explore the river ahead to find a better location .In the meantime ,its photo session for all ladies & girls in the riverbed.

 |
| Nagrota bypass road to Udhampur. It was amazingly cold water & at 43C temp outside , everyone wished to take a dip.... But before the dip , Its food time & we had to open our packed food stuffs..... Cheers !!! the cold drink bottles opened & munching of chips & peanuts....We were all loving it...almost half wet ,we had our food, The others around ,were busy cooking their meals by the bank of the rivulet...some lying lazy in the waters....what a scene around. Soon after the stomach's full , Its just in the water & more water................ everyone got in their swim wears & off they all go merrily swimming around. Thats the way to enjoy a very very hot summer holiday rather than sitting inside the AC room..................... After almost 2 hrs in water , we all had to packup &leave back.... Really had a great time together...Good Company of friends, beautiful location, what more to ask for; On our way back , we stopped at Punjabi Haveli restaurant for a meal of Rajma-rice & lassi...................... |
