If you love taking pictures, then Shivkhori Cave is a perfect place for you. Many people visit Shivkhori every year. Some come to pray, and some come to enjoy nature. Photographers say, “Shivkhori is very beautiful. You can take amazing pictures here.” When I visited, I saw children, families, and tourists clicking photos with smiles on their faces. One parent said, “I want to show my child the beauty of nature and devotion. Shivkhori is perfect.”
Why Shivkhori Cave is Beautiful
Shivkhori Cave is not just a holy place; it is also very scenic. Inside the cave, there is a Shiva idol. Outside, green hills surround the place. A small river flows nearby. Birds sing, and flowers bloom. You can hear leaves rustling in the wind. Photographers said, “Every corner of Shivkhori looks magical. You can take many pictures in one visit.”
One tourist said, “I felt peace when I entered Shivkhori. I wanted to take photos of everything—the idol, hills, and river.”
Best Time to Take Photos
The best time to click pictures at Shivkhori is early morning and late afternoon. The sunlight is soft, and shadows look nice. Photographers like visiting in winter too. After rain, the hills become very green. A visitor told me, “I went at sunrise. The sun made the hills glow. My photos looked amazing.”

You do not need heavy cameras. Even a simple phone camera works. Here is what you can take:
- Camera or Smartphone: Both are fine.
