The winter residence of the last Dogra ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh, Hari Niwas Palace sits adjacent to Amar Mahal on the river ridge. The building is a handsome colonial-era structure set in well-maintained gardens. Part of the property now operates as a heritage hotel, but the grounds are accessible and the exterior gives a good sense of the scale and ambition of the Dogra court lifestyle.
Most visitors stop here after visiting Amar Mahal next door. The river views from the ridge are among the best in Jammu.
