I don't know pretty much about worm holes. but I have this doubt.
Where do worm holes lead us to if we get into one?Do they lead us to a new but different universe or into some other part of this universe?

Welcome to PF,
The usual wormhole coNsideredin GR leads to a different part of our own Universe in the sense that it is possible in principle to travel from one end to the other without traversing the wormhole.

Technically, though, any regeon of spacetime connected to pur local spacetime in such a way as to allow travel is part of our Universe... so if it is connected by a wormhole, or anything else, then it is part of "our" Universe.
