Situated midway along the trek to Vaishno Devi Temple, Ardh Kuwari Cave holds significant religious importance. According to legend, Mata Vaishno Devi hid in this cave for nine months while evading Bhairon Nath, a demon who was chasing her. Pilgrims often stop here to rest and pay their respects. The cave itself is narrow and intriguing, with a sense of tranquility that complements the spiritual journey.
