Jhilmil Gufa in Rishikesh, is a very exclusive adventure short trekking route in Rajaji National Park near Neelkanth Mahadev Temple, Rishikesh in Uttarakhand. This natural Gufa is located on the Manikoot Mountains about 35 km away by road from Rishikesh and 16 km away by an uphill trek through Rajaji National Park from Ram Jhula Rishikesh via Beatles Ashram. Jhilmil Cave Rishikesh is a mountaintop cave at an elevation of 1400 m from sea level.

It is located within a hiking distance of about 4 km from Shiva Temple, Neelkanth Mahadev. The Neelkanth – Jhilmil Gufa offers you scenic and stunning views of the Rishikesh and valley of the Ganges.

The Jhilmil cave does not stand alone in that area, there are three Gufa in the same surroundings such as Ganesh Gufa, Hanuman Gufa but Ganesh Gufa is worth visiting, it lies a bit further uphill at the tail end of the trail of Jhilmil Gufa
