This place is absolutely mesmerising. This is also very photogenic place. One can even do boating in the lake. Highly recommending everyone to visit this place.

I recently visited Mirik and had a peaceful experience. The place is known for its scenic beauty, especially the Sumendu Lake surrounded by pine trees. The cool weather and calm atmosphere make it perfect for a relaxing getaway. You can enjoy paddle boating, stroll around the lake, or just sit and take in the view.

Peaceful Escape to Mirik 🌲⛵ I recently visited Mirik and had a truly peaceful experience. The highlight of this hill town is the stunning Sumendu Lake, beautifully surrounded by tall pine trees. The cool weather and calm atmosphere make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. Visitors can enjoy paddle boating, take a leisurely stroll around the lake, or simply sit by the water and soak in the serene views. The lake’s beauty is mesmerizing—the kind that soothes both the eyes and the mind. 🌿✨ If you’re in or around North Bengal, a visit to this beautiful lake in Mirik is a must. Perfect for nature lovers, couples, and anyone seeking quiet moments away from the city.

The beautiful lake In Mirk is a must go place .. The serenity soothes eyes and mind.. People can enjoy boating here also and can sit for hours with a peaceful mind..

Boating, horse riding and paths around the lake are popular activities that visitors. The lake area is considered a good spot for picnic, especially for families with children.

Mirik Lake is a quaint and scenic escape—ideal for a laid-back day trip immersed in tranquil landscapes, gentle activities and local Himalayan culture. While not as bustling or varied as Darjeeling, it charms visitors with its reflective waters, forest-lined trails, and peaceful ambiance. It’s particularly well-suited for those seeking a slow-paced stopover amid tea gardens and mountain vistas.

Nice Experience it was Visiting Sumendu Lake in near the town of Mirik.Activies Include Boating,Horse Riding or a Stroll in the Garden. Boating was Closed when we visited as it was raining. Month of Visit - June 2025. The Best Part was the Road Journey from Darjeeling to Mirik.This Journey is Heavenly Especially During Monsoon Season,Drizzling Rains and Dense Fog Makes the Atmosphere Enchanting. Tou can make Pitstops on the way at Local Tea Estates to Click some Memorable Photos.The Whole Area is Lush Green.

A place close to nature. Although there wasn't enough force in April end but the place was peaceful & crowdfree. We went upstairs to have a better view of the waterfall which was a good decision. The waterfall is safe & good for photography from this spot. You can spend around 15 mins here on the way to singshore Bridge.

The waterfalls is beautiful and the place is very clean.

The waterfalls is much higher than Rimbi or kanchenjunga falls. The falls is exactly on the side of the road on the way to sinshore bridge from Pelling. The road conditions are really bad in some stretches. During the monsoon it's gushing with water.

Changey Waterfall looks pretty much like a white line, emerging from dense greenery falling from a height of about 300 feet. With the scenic backdrop of lush green vegetation and towering hills, the falls is an ideal tourist attraction and a lovely picnic spot for the people to enjoy some relaxing moments in deep serenity. The falls is situated downhill from the last motorable point. From there, one needs to walk almost 20 minutes to reach the falls. The pathway is broken and full of leaves and branches. But visitors will forget every pain once reach the fall.

Good viewpoint just beside the road, easy to spot, but the road to visit the viewpoint is little difficult to find. Need a name board, thanks to google map, it was easy to find. Good for spending 5-10 min, as there is very little to view. One can take selfie, view the scenery. Place needs development. There is a place to sit and relax.

We visited the Changey Waterfall on the way back from completing our Pelling Site Seen. Vehicles are passing through the stream of the falls. It’s a nice one and located just beside the road having two steps. However, we then proceeded to return our hotel as afternoon . It's a beautiful waterfall ever I seen .

This Changey waterfall is not that one which is situated in Lava, West Bengal. This one is in Pelling, Sikkim. This waterfall is right on the road and you do not have to put heavy hard work to reach it. This location is the ideal choice for a peaceful outing. This one is a high-rise waterfall with magnetic view and you can’t help seeing at its refreshing view. You can visit this fall in any season, but the Monsoon is the best time. Near this falls, you can also find the Dentam Bazaar, which is an old village market. Reaching this place is easy because it has a well-established roadways. You can hire local jeep/taxi services at an added convenience. This place is a peaceful 4-hour drive from The Elgin Mount Pandim, Pelling.

🌄 Simana View Point – Beautiful Scenery, But Needs Better Maintenance 🌄 Simana View Point, located on the India-Nepal border, is truly a breathtaking destination. It’s a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. From here, you can clearly see the Nepal border, and the background is often graced with a stunning view of the Himalayan mountains, making it a perfect place to capture some memorable photographs. The view, especially on a clear day, is simply amazing. You can spot the distant hills and valleys, and the unique feeling of being so close to an international border adds to the charm of the place. However, while the natural beauty is remarkable, the cleanliness of the spot is disappointing. Many tourists, especially some from West Bengal, tend to throw garbage around carelessly. There seems to be zero civic sense, and it’s painful to see such a scenic location being spoiled by plastic wrappers, bottles, and waste. It’s a humble request to visitors: please respect nature and do not litter. Also, a quick tip for travelers — the local shop near the viewpoint remains closed on Mondays, so if you’re planning to visit, avoid that day if you’re expecting to grab a tea, snack, or souvenir. ⸻ Overall Rating: 3.8/5 ✅ Amazing mountain views ✅ Nepal border visible ✅ Great spot for photos ❌ Poor cleanliness due to irresponsible tourists ❌ Shops closed on Mondays Final Thoughts: Simana View Point is worth visiting for its scenic beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

Raw nature with blooming beauties. Rhododendrons are so attracting and in clusters, they sooth eyes and feelings. A five kilometer hike gives unique experiences. A birder's paradise. But, the recent hype is harming this biosphere. Nauseating crowd, loud sound and extravagant littering is alarming, astoundingly by a large chunk of locals, ruining the ambience. The Govt. of Sikkim must look into this to preserve such a natural treasure.

This is a very well known hiking place of 5km one way from Hilley to Barsey throughout a jungle of various trees and birds. It is almost flat so anyone can easily cover it within. 2 / 2:30, hrs. At the end there is Only Rhododendron in different colours. Best time to visit : throughout the year other than the rainy season one can get the spark of the beauty. There is 4/5 shades and resting places in this way. Only Guras Kunja is one resting place and hotel at the end but pre-booking is mandatory if anyone wants to stay there. Sharing some glimpse of The way and Rododendrons.

The mountains called, and we answered! Our recent hike was filled with moments of pure bliss, until Mother Nature decided to give us an unexpected shower on our way back. Soaked but spirits undampened, we reflected on the beauty surrounding us. It was a little disheartening, though, to see dustbins overflowing in what we understood to be a plastic-free zone. Still, the thought of this place during the rhododendron season – a carpet of vibrant blooms – is enough to make us want to plan another trip

Calm, beautiful, this 10 km up and down hike will connect you to the nature , far away from that city’s hustle and bustle. Forest covered with variety of Rhododendrons, tall pine trees.. Though the roads from sombaria to okhrey are really bad, it will be a tiring trip upto okhrey so it would be better to go for hiking next day

If you are visiting West Sikkim in March or April, do make it a point to visit this place.. The whole jungle is covered with Rhododendrons.. To reach the location one has to track for 5 KMs one way. It's a easy track..

Best time to visit Barsey is from March last week to April Last week. You can be witness the ful bloomed paradise of Guras in this time frame. If rain doesn't destroy it then the time frame can expand to another 10-15days. You've to trek 5km if you're staying at Hilley or you can pre book a stay at Guraskunj to stretch your arms on the red valley. Guraskunj has dormitory and tent stays and one group staying room too. Though the 25km reaching road till Hilley from downhill is rough. I road by bike and it was a little bit challenging but after taking that handle the place where you'll reach will worth. Try going on weekends as it'll be super crowded by local people.. Enjoy Barsey.. #happy2help

Very beautiful and scenic place to visit during the rhodedendron blooming season. The mountains are covered with colourful vibrant flowers. a must visit place.

Fantastic place but the road from Tumling will be hell even in a 4x4. It's very cold (once it gets cloudy and chilly) even in October so take appropriate warm clothes. Ideal for treks. Do not mess with the yaks and the horses. The yaks might chase you thinking you have salt. Running water is a big issue here.

West Bengal s highest mountain peak but it is very crowdy. Beautiful sceneries can be seen from here . Most favourite trekking attraction is sandakhfu for trekkers. You can also come this place by landrover but trekking is more adventurous.

One of the most beautiful place I have ever visited. I was there in the month of February 2024. It was a bit off season and at night temperature was around -5 degree. Hotel sunrise is one of the choices for staying there. But when I stayed there , there was no electricity, so as usual there was no room heater or anything to keep us warm, so in that climate condition it was a bit difficult for all the travellers. Even glass windows were frozen inside the room. But the very next day when we saw the clear sky and the beautiful sunrise , all our exhaustion had turned into joy and happiness.you can visit the place either by hiking or by car , you can reach to Manibhanjan from NJP , from Manibhanjan you can hire a guide if you want to reach the place by trekking,it’s a 4 days trek only for sandakphu , and if you want to cover Phalut , then it’s a 5 days trek. Another option is you can take the legendary Land Rover or Mahindra Marshal kind of jeeps to reach there. If the sky is clear then you can see the most mesmerising view of Kanchanjunga range. I am sharing some photos from my gallery. Keep travelling keep knowing the u know.

Reach there via Phalut. Trekked approx 21 KM. Exhausted, dwindling somehow reached the trekkers hut. But the next day sunshine gave the tranquility I craved for long

Sandakphu is the highest point of the ridge and of the state of West Bengal, India. The peak is located at the edge of the Singalila National Park and has a small village on the summit with a few hotels. Four of the five highest peaks in the world, Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu can be seen from its summit. Must visit place in West Bengal, its beauty is beyond expectation.

One of the most difficult terrain to conquer. ROADS are almost non existence. But adventurous. If you're looking for adventure you can definitely visit this place. View of Kanchenjunga is Mesmerising and the sunrise is just wow

The last 14 km trekking from Tumling to Sandakphu is totally WORTH it!! I would suggest everyone who lives in West Bengal to atleast visit this place once in their lifetime. This place is indescribable and unbelievably BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ One of the best place I've been. Very cheap, if you know the place and people. If you want to go by car, book Land rover car from the ticket counter. It will be very cheap for you. PLEASE don't allow the "Tour Guide" book the Hotels and Cars, they will charge double. The Guide will tell you Hotels/cars are not available etc... Just to fill up their pockets. Always book cars and hotels by yourself. Don't go for so called guides (dalals). People are very nice and helpful over there.. I've been to this place two times.

Nothing much to see except some pet elephants. Maybe I was expecting too much. I travelled from dbg to Kosi tapu by bike. The ticket only for two people was 700INR or 1000 nepali rupees as we were from India. It's just 100 rupees for nepalis and it was not worth that money at all for us because the elephants out of the sanctuary and hence free as they were domesticated and kept in chains.

Needs guides, information center to operationalize smoothly. But location is very tranquil,

Not many birds to see at this time. To see some wild buffaloes. Very nice is the nature and the riverbed. It gives some watchtowers. Nice view there into the nature. A peaceful place. I am German and on motobiketour in Northeast-India and Eastnepal.

The peace place look like and there was many types of animals elephant,rahino,eagle etc

Different Varieties of Animal can be spotted.

Janakpur Railway Station is a convenient transit point for traveling between Nepal and India. The train timings are punctual, and I had a comfortable journey in the AC coach to Jayanagar, India. The ticket prices are fair, but the train stops feel unnecessarily long. Local buggies around the station are quite congested. The biggest drawback is the cleanliness—it definitely needs better maintenance. Overall, a decent travel option with room for improvement!

NRW is pride of Nepal but train fair is too expensive of AC compartment from Janakpur to Jayanagar. NRW must provide facilities in this fair.

Jaanki temple pride of mithila. It reminds us the glory of mithila, raja janak and mata sita. My nani always wanted to visit Janki temple, so we all decided to go to Janki temple. So We hired a car and went to Janki temple. Reaching there we saw the temple, a high white colored temple in which red and green colors were also used; its grandeur was spreading in all four directions. Our day was good, so we could have darshan of mata sita very easily. The attitude of the pujari's of the temple was very good towards the devotees. The temple was quite clean. We also saw the marriage place, it was also equally grand. Everything in the entire temple was very good except one thing and that was the toilet, the toilet was arranged at a distance where a lady used to sit and before using the toilet we had to pay money, without money she would not let us go inside. Due to her we and more than us our ladies faced a lot of problems.

Visited this beautiful Shiv temple and had a truly serene experience. The temple is well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful—perfect for prayer and reflection. The architecture is simple yet elegant, and the surrounding area adds to the spiritual vibe. ---

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the sacred Shri Gareeb Nath Mandir as part of a wedding function. The atmosphere was filled with devotion and joy as the baraat made its way to the temple. One of the most touching moments of the celebration was when the groom (dulha) was taken to the temple to offer his pranam to Lord Gareeb Nath before proceeding to the wedding venue. This age-old tradition symbolizes respect, humility, and the seeking of divine blessings for a prosperous and happy married life. The temple, known for its peaceful and spiritual ambiance, was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Sounds of conch shells, temple bells, and traditional music created an enchanting vibe. Friends and family accompanied the groom, all dressed in festive attire, adding to the vibrant energy of the moment. Witnessing the groom bow his head in reverence before starting a new chapter in his life was truly heartwarming. It reflected the deep cultural and spiritual values that continue to hold importance in modern weddings. The entire experience at Shri Gareeb Nath Mandir left a lasting impression—one of faith, celebration, and shared joy.

According to religious beliefs, the history of Baba Garibnath Dham dates back around three hundred years. It is believed that this place was once a dense forest with seven peepal trees in the middle. Legend has it that when these trees were cut, a blood-red substance started oozing out, and a massive Shivalinga was discovered. Locals claim that Baba appeared in the dreams of the landowner, and since then, puja-archana has been performed here. Baba Garibnath Dham is a sacred Hindu site located in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India. Baba Garibnath Dham is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and is known as the 'Deoghar of Bihar.' Devotees from across the district and state visit here to offer prayers and seek a better life. It is believed that worshiping during the month of Sawan holds special significance, which helps fulfill all desires.

I recently visited Takht Sri Harmandir Ji Saheb (Patna Sahib) with my family after a long time and it was a deeply peaceful and spiritual experience. The Gurudwara is beautifully maintained — the white marble, golden domes, and serene atmosphere fill you with calm. Knowing it’s the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh Ji made the visit even more special. The Langar was simple and delicious, served with great devotion. However, one thing that didn’t feel right was being asked to join both hands while receiving roti — it almost gave a feeling of being treated like a beggar rather than a devotee. I completely understand the intent of humility, but perhaps this could be done in a more respectful way. Overall, it’s a divine place that fills you with peace and positivity. A must-visit for anyone coming to Patna. 🙏

Takht Sri Patna Sahib is one of the Five Takhts (Seats of Authority) in Sikhism. Its profound importance stems from being the birthplace of the Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, on December 22, 1666. The site was previously visited by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. The present magnificent structure was built in the early 19th century under the patronage of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Visitors can climb the spiral staircase, which has 145 steps, to enjoy breathtaking views of the Ganga River and Patna city. Though never used for its intended purpose due to a design flaw, Gol Ghar remains a fascinating historical landmark.Golghar, an enormous granary, was built by Captain John Garstin for British army in 1786, after the terrible impact of 1770 famine. The winding stairway around this monument offers a brilliant view of the city and the Ganga flowing nearby. It is pillar-less with a wall of thickness of 3.6 m at the base height of 29 m..The Golghar or Gol Ghar, is a large granary located to the west of the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, capital city of Bihar state, India.

Golghar is a pre-historic tallest building of Bihar but in present times, buildings much taller than Golghar have been built in Patna but Golghar is no longer like it was before, you can only visit a small park

Not much of a monument but a place to chill . Often less crowded , good for individuals, couples ,who want to spend time alone. Maximum half an hour is required to fully explore it.

The Golghar, meaning "Round House," is a monumental granary located in Patna, Bihar. It was commissioned by the then Governor-General Warren Hastings and constructed by the British engineer Captain John Garstin, with completion in 1786. Its primary purpose was a humanitarian measure: to act as a massive storehouse for grains to prevent the widespread starvation witnessed during the devastating Bengal Famine of 1770. ​Architecturally, the Golghar is a magnificent, beehive-shaped dome, rising 29 meters high. It is notable for its pillar-less design and massive walls, nearly 3.6 meters thick at the base, which maximized internal storage space. The structure's design was inspired by the ancient Buddhist Stupa style, creating a striking historical silhouette against the modern cityscape. ​The most distinctive feature is the twin spiral staircase wrapped around its exterior, comprising 145 steps. This ingenious design was meant to allow workers to ascend with grain sacks on one side and descend on the other without obstruction. Ironically, a rumored design flaw, the doors opening inwards, meant the granary was never filled to its intended capacity of 140,000 tons. ​ Today, the Golghar functions as a prime tourist attraction, no longer serving its original utilitarian purpose. The climb, while lengthy, is worth the effort, rewarding visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view of Patna and the flowing Ganga River, making it an iconic spot for photography. ​ Ultimately, the Golghar stands as a potent symbol: a testament to colonial-era engineering and a solemn reminder of the famine it was built to combat. It is an unmissable landmark that beautifully merges historical context with striking architecture, anchoring the heritage of the city.

Golghar in Patna was quite disappointing and didn’t live up to the hype. The structure itself is historically interesting, but the maintenance is very poor. The area around it is unclean, with litter scattered and little effort made to preserve the site’s heritage value. The inside of the monument is closed to visitors, so there’s not much to actually experience except walking around the dome. The viewpoints that were once popular are no longer accessible, and the surrounding gardens are neglected and poorly kept. Overall, Golghar feels more like a forgotten monument than a tourist attraction. With better upkeep, lighting, and informative signage, it could be a beautiful historical spot, but in its current state, it’s not worth a special visit.

one of the highlights in patna. was not possible to go to the top (sat mid afternoon, july 2025). the 10 rupee entrance fee is most reasonable. super super unique architecture. must visit place.

Golghar is a historic granary in Patna, Bihar, built by Captain John Garstin in 1786 for the British army to store grain after the devastating 1770 famine. The dome-shaped structure was designed to hold 140,000 tons of grain, but was never filled to its capacity due to a design flaw where the doors opened inwards. It is now a popular tourist attraction known for its unique architecture and panoramic views of the city and the Ganges River.

Very famous and old Temple. It is situated just infront of Patna junction.

Well, This temple is nostalgic for many folks as they have fond memories of visiting here when for the 1st time they came to Patna & considered paying visit to Hanuman/Mahavir temple. It's religious place and you can feel the fervor of it when you are in the vicinity ... So, yeah visit here for once ... 👍

This temple is run by a trust which use money of the temple in the development for example they have hospital etc. This is the most important site for hindu. There is shoe counter outside the temple which is free of cost. Must try Navedam sweet which is made up of pure ghee and dry fruits. After hanuman darshan must see the stone on the 1st floor which keep floating in water. This temple is just outside the Patna railway station. Therefore it is one of the my favourite place in Patna to visit.

Very nice hindu temple

A beautiful place where you can get almost all the things you need... Restaurants, movie, crockery, spices, house holding, clothes... Etc

Great place..historical place..attached with railway station..24*7 all service available..worship morning 4 am to 7 pm..

Best temple in patna. Drinking water and sitting arrangements are available here. A must go place.

Buddha Smriti Park in Patna is a beautifully maintained urban retreat that perfectly blends serenity with architectural elegance. The lush garden landscape is immaculately designed, offering peaceful walking paths, manicured lawns, and shaded areas ideal for quiet reflection. The main monument — the grand stupa — stands as an impressive centerpiece, symbolizing calm and devotion with its striking dome structure visible from afar. However, once inside the stupa, there isn’t much to explore apart from the single Buddha statue installed within the dome. The simplicity, while spiritually appealing, may feel a bit underwhelming for visitors expecting more activity or exhibits. On the brighter side, the park also houses a well-curated library and museum that offer deeper insight into Buddhist teachings and history, making the visit more enriching for those interested in the cultural aspect. Overall, Buddha Smriti Park is worth visiting for its serene environment, beautiful landscaping, and architectural charm, though it’s more suited for a short, peaceful visit than a day of exploration.

Nice Meditation Centre near New Patna Junction The centre is surrounded by greenery, making it a peaceful and calming place for meditation. However, the management needs to improve its upkeep. The cleanliness isn't as good as it used to be. With better maintenance, this place could truly be a gem for those seeking peace and relaxation.

The highlight of the park is the majestic Central Stupa, which houses sacred relics of Lord Buddha brought from several countries including Japan, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. The architecture is minimalist yet powerful, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for meditation and reflection. There’s also a well-maintained meditation center that offers a calm retreat from the busy surroundings. The park is clean, spacious, and well-landscaped with green lawns, walking paths, fountains, and symbolic Buddhist sculptures. It's ideal for a morning or evening walk, or just sitting quietly amidst nature. There’s a small museum and gallery inside that showcases the life and teachings of Buddha, adding educational value to the visit. Entry is very affordable, and security is good. It’s a great place for families, tourists, and even solo visitors interested in history, spirituality, or just looking for a quiet place to relax. However, do note that photography inside certain areas (like the stupa) may be restricted. Overall, Buddha Smriti Park is a must-visit attraction in Patna — clean, serene, and culturally rich. It offers a refreshing break from the city’s traffic and noise, and leaves you with a sense of peace and reflection.

Great place to visit with friends and family. A canteen should be there inside premises. The inappropriate activities of couples are strictly guarded.

It is awesome place for mind peace, knowing Lord Budha. And the Park was big as well. Best place for Mind peace.(Ticket applied)

Well Maintained park ....Just 5 min walking distance from Patna Junction Railway Station

It is worthy to go visit there. A beautiful garden with clean environment. The meditation centre is so peaceful. Library there, was having Books about Buddha and his teachings, scripts and many more. Also the museum, decorated with pictures and the historical monuments and tools. There are also many more things that I've not mentioned. So, go and visit yourself.

Visited Sanjay Gandhi Zoological Park (Patna Zoo) with my kids, and we all had a lovely time! The place is full of greenery, well-maintained walking paths, and a good variety of animals and birds. My kids really enjoyed watching the tigers ,snakes,Bear etc the toy train ride not functional We went on 6th October — technically winter hasn’t started yet 😄 — but still, the zoo followed winter timing and closed at 4:30 PM instead of 5:30 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. The boating area and shaded sitting spots are nice for a short break. Overall, it’s a refreshing place for families and kids to spend a few peaceful hours in nature. A bit of improvement in food stalls and some enclosures would make it even better. 🌳🦓🐅

It is very good place for mood relaxation Because of there environment and forests like area surrounding. All animals and birds are so amazing but specially I just loved white peacock and colourful. I'm so satisfied with the environment which are created.

Very nice wonderful zoo and biological park inside bihar & jharkhand, so many wild animal, birds, snake with beautiful environment.

There were some toy shops outside the museum. The entry ticket for the museum was 20 rupees, and since there wasn’t much crowd, I got it immediately. Inside, there was a lot of greenery with many trees, and the names of the trees were also written. There was a rail tour happening as well, and the canteen was set up inside train coaches. There was also an old train engine and many other things. The museum had a lot of information and items related to railways. The food and drink facilities inside were very good, and the toilets were also fine.

My visit to the Gorakhnath Temple was truly a highlight of my trip to Gorakhpur. I went on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds, and the peaceful atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. The temple complex is expansive and immaculately maintained. The grounds are very clean, and there are clear signs, making it easy to navigate. ​The main temple, dedicated to Guru Gorakhnath, is impressive with its beautiful architecture. Inside, the spiritual energy is palpable. I also appreciated the smaller shrines dedicated to other deities, which are scattered throughout the complex. The large pond and well-kept garden areas provide a perfect place for quiet reflection. ​One of the most charming aspects was the Goshala (cowshed), which is very well-maintained and shows the temple's dedication to serving and protecting cows. The arrangements for depositing and collecting footwear were smooth and efficient, which is a big plus. ​For future visitors, I would highly recommend an early morning visit to enjoy the tranquility. While some reviews mention being approached by pandits for money, I didn't experience this and found the staff to be respectful. Overall, this is a must-visit place for anyone seeking a blend of spirituality, history, and serene beauty. It's a truly well-managed and significant pilgrimage site.

I visited Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur yesterday. It is a peaceful and beautiful place with a calm atmosphere. The temple is clean and well-maintained. This temple is good to explore in the evening time not in Afternoon cause the floors are heated up and unable to walk on it .... Free food (langar) is distributed everyday.. I liked the big statue and the spiritual feel. It was a nice and refreshing experience. A must-visit place in Gorakhpur.

Gorakhnath Math, also known as Gorakhnath Temple or Shri Gorakhnath Mandir, is a Hindu temple of the Nath monastic order group of the Nath tradition. The name Gorakhnath derives from the medieval saint, Gorakshanath (c. 11th century CE), a yogi who travelled widely across India and authored a number of texts that form a part of the canon of Nath Sampradaya.Shri Gorakhnath Mandir's facade stands as a beacon of spiritual enlightenment. The temple's facade reflects Gorakhpur's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

Gorakhnath Mandir is a spiritually powerful and peaceful place. The atmosphere is calm and filled with positive vibes. The temple is very well maintained – clean premises, organized management, and a spacious campus. Apart from the main temple, the gaushala and sacred pond add to its charm. Sitting here brings a deep sense of inner peace. A must-visit spot in Gorakhpur for both devotees and tourists!

I really feel blessed to visit and witness the divine power of Shri Gorakhnath temple at Gorakhpur.

One of the best things is that the temple is very well-organized. There’s proper security at the entrance, but it’s just a simple check—nothing that takes much time. You don’t have to wait in long lines to go inside, which is a big plus. Behind the temple, there’s a small pond where ducks swim around.

Stupa is good. BUT BE WARY OF GUIDES here. He said in ₹100 he will show us all the sites in this complex. But he took us to the main temple, spent hardly 7 minutes. And took us to some handloom dress shop nearby. His main interest was commission from the shop. We didn't buy anything and the guide lost all interest in us. Forced us to give him ₹ 100 and he disappeared. Some suitable action should be taken to prevent such activities.

A wonderful place for all. If you are in Varanasi and don't visit this place, you will miss a lot about an Indian historical place. The most I love was the Ashoka Pillar with four lion head, which is the emblem of India. For Buddhists, it is obviously the great place of pilgrimage.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the holiest shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, was a spiritually enriching and unforgettable experience. Located in the heart of Varanasi, the temple stands as a beacon of faith and devotion for millions of Hindus. From the moment I stepped into the narrow lanes leading to the temple, the air felt charged with spiritual energy. The aroma of incense, the chanting of mantras, and the constant ringing of temple bells created an atmosphere that was both intense and peaceful. The temple itself, with its majestic golden spire, is a blend of rich history and deep religious significance. Though often crowded, the darshan process was surprisingly well-managed. The Gyanvapi Corridor, part of the new Kashi Vishwanath Dham project, added to the experience by providing open, clean, and aesthetically pleasing access to the temple. Security was tight but well-organized, and the cleanliness of the temple premises was impressive considering the massive daily footfall. The presence of helpful volunteers and the availability of lockers, guides, and prasad counters made the visit more convenient. What touched me most was the palpable faith of the devotees. People from across the country, and even the world, stood in line with folded hands, eyes closed in prayer, completely immersed in devotion. Highlights: Spiritual atmosphere like no other Historical and cultural significance Clean and well-managed temple complex Efficient darshan system despite crowds The newly developed Kashi Vishwanath Corridor adds grandeur and comfort Tips for Visitors: Visit early in the morning (especially for the Mangala Aarti) to avoid large crowds Dress modestly and be prepared to walk through narrow, bustling alleys Mobile phones and cameras aren’t allowed inside, so plan accordingly Booking special darshan online can save time

It is the desire of every Hindu to visit Kashi at least once in their lives. There is a tradition in our country to spend the last days of life in Kashi. It is believed that Lord Shiva recites the name of Rama, in the ears of every living being who is about to die here. Vishwanath appears as a self-contained Jyothir Lingam in a tank-like structure measuring three by three feet. Devotees can pour Ganga water with their hands and sprinkle flowers and touch it to worship from 4.00 to 5.00 am and also from 4.00 to 5.00 pm. We obtained tickets through online (one month ago) for Sugam Dharshan at 2.00 pm batch by paying Rs.300/- per head. We had our Dharshan within seven minutes. Then we purchased tickets for Rudra abishekam by paying Rs. 450/- and a priest came with us and performed all the abhishekams for the Lingam. We paid another Rs. 250/- towards the cost of milk for performing Milk abhishekams. By 2.30 Rudra abishekam was also performed. Then we stood in the queue meant for free Dharshan and worshiped Lord Viswanathar within 30 minutes. We kept all our important belongings such as mobiles, bags etc in a locker outside the temple and left our chappals there . We could never forget that vibrations which we felt while we were doing the Rudra abishekam.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the spiritual heart of Varanasi and a must-visit for every devotee of Lord Shiva. The temple feels truly divine, and the newly developed corridor offers a grand and peaceful view leading towards the Ganga. One of the best times to visit is early in the morning between 4 AM to 5 AM, when Sparsha Darshan (touch darshan) is allowed even in the general/free line. The atmosphere at that hour is calm, less crowded, and filled with pure devotion—an experience that feels truly special. Security arrangements are strict, and the management is much more organized now. Though the temple can get crowded later in the day, the early morning visit gives a peaceful and memorable darshan of Baba Vishwanath. Despite the rush during peak hours, the divine energy of the temple makes the journey completely worth it. A visit here leaves you with a deep sense of peace and devotion.

One of the most beautiful temples in India. This is the 9th Jyotirlinga in the world. There are 4 entry gates. Power bank and charger is not allowed inside the gate, we can submit our mobile inside the temple. I went by evening time. Temple timing -3am- 11 pm

Excellent pilgrim centre. Once in a life time visit as considered by Hindus all over the world. Evening Saptha Rishi Arathi and midnight puja are to be reserved well in advance. Otherwise 12 noon and 9 PM Sambho by Nattukottai Nagarathars is very special. Tight security. No mobile, footwear, watch / Pen or purse or handbag and so just basic decent clothing and some cash to offer. Spiritual experience

It's the only bridge where we see the market and shops on the pul. It was built around 1300AD on the Gomti River.Shahi Pul stands as a testament to Jaunpur's rich history and architectural heritage....

Shahi Pul, located in Jaunpur, is one of Uttar Pradesh's most iconic Mughal-era structures, embodying both historical significance and architectural brilliance. The bridge was commissioned during the reign of Emperor Akbar in 1564, following his directive to address the challenge faced by locals and traders who needed to cross the Gomti River. Akbar appointed his governor, Munim Khan (also referenced as Munim Muhammad Baki), to oversee the construction of this essential bridge. The architectural design was crafted by Afzal Ali, a renowned architect from Afghanistan. Spanning 654 feet in length and 26 feet in width, Shahi Pul took four years to complete and was considered a marvel of its time. The bridge stands on 26 arches, blending Indian and Mughal architectural styles, making it unique in India. Along its span, octagonal pillars support chhatris (domed pavilions), which were originally built to provide shelter for traders operating stalls on the bridge. These chhatris still offer views over the river to travelers and visitors, preserving the historic aura. The central section of the bridge is notable for a large quadrangular platform featuring a stone sculpture of a lion poised over an elephant, a powerful symbol located opposite a small mosque built into the structure. This highlights the cultural syncretism prevalent in Jaunpur's history, with spaces for both Hindu and Muslim practices integrated into the bridge’s design. Shahi Pul’s strategic and commercial significance helped boost Jaunpur’s economic activities during the Mughal era, as it facilitated uninterrupted trade and communication across the river. Its durability has withstood centuries of floods and natural disasters, although it suffered major damage in the 1934 earthquake and was subsequently restored to its former glory. Currently, the bridge is maintained as a protected heritage monument, but its condition is threatened by neglect, overgrowth, and structural wear. Nevertheless, it continues to serve as a public thoroughfare and remains a living testament to Jaunpur’s past, bridging not only the two riverbanks but centuries of history and culture. Overall, Shahi Pul stands out as a noteworthy location in Jaunpur that embodies historical significance, cultural richness, and everyday vibrancy. It is a place where history is not just preserved but lived, offering a meaningful experience for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the local heritage and lifestyle of this region.

Shahi Pul (Royal Bridge) in Jaunpur, India, is a historic architectural marvel built in 1566 by Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi. It spans the Gomti River and showcases intricate Mughal-era design with its elegant arches. The bridge is a symbol of Jaunpur's rich cultural and historical heritage, attracting many visitors.

The rich history, majestic architecture, and stunning surroundings made it feel like stepping back in time.

Historical and Architectural Beauty: Visitors praise the bridge for its well-preserved Mughal architecture, featuring seven arches and intricate stonework. It’s often described as a testament to ancient engineering prowess. Scenic Location: The bridge’s setting along the Gomti River is frequently highlighted for its picturesque views, especially during sunrise or sunset, making it a great spot for photography.

Accessibility: Located in the heart of Jaunpur, it’s easily accessible and a must-visit for those exploring nearby Varanasi or other historical sites.

Shahi Qila, Jaunpur’s historic gem, blends Sharqi and Mughal architecture, offering stunning Gomti River views. Its mosque and intricate design captivate history lovers. A must-visit for its cultural significance, serene ambiance, and timeless beauty, perfectly complementing the nearby Shahi Bridge. Open daily, ideal for evening exploration.

This might not be the centuries-old heritage *Sita Rasoi*, but the vibe here definitely feels the same. I was staying at a nearby hotel, just about 500 meters from Hanumangarhi, and came across this place (also recommended by the hotel reception guy). They serve only thali meals- nothing fancy, just simple, homely food. And honestly, that’s all you need at the end of the day. We loved it so much that we came back the next day too! The thali includes: * 4 rotis * dal * chawal (rice) * 2 sabzis * raita It’s more than sufficient for one adult. The best part? The price is just ₹100! Super reasonable. The owner, Suraj Agarwal, is very warm and friendly—he even shared a lot of interesting information about Ayodhya with us. If you’re nearby, definitely give this place a try..!!

You won’t find better food anywhere around the Ayodhya temple — it’s full of purity and cleanliness. The behavior of Manager Suraj Bhai and his father is truly praiseworthy.

They serve home made style fresh veg thali that too for only 100 rs… the bhojnalay is quite clean to our surprise and they do maintain a good hygiene. When in Ayodhya always prefer this bhojnalay! Suraj Agarwal bhai is really polite and serve food with lots of love!

We took lunch and breakfast from this Sita Rosuia Food counter at Ayodhya, just by the side of the main Mandir. It was worth tasty and healthy food with nice behaviour. After all good food and satisfactory services delivered. Thanking you.

Pure satvik food with homely taste and divine vibes! The Shuddh Aahar Thali was fresh, simple, and full of authentic flavour — no onion or garlic, just like temple prasadam. Best vegetarian meal spot in Ayodhya near Kanak Bhawan — highly recommended! 🌿

Delicious food with good service & neat clean environment

This temple is located at the birthplace of God Ram.Visited this temple on a weekday at around 13:00-13:45 hours. This temple has excellent management of crowd.There is separate entrance and exit.Enough availability of drinking water and medical facilities.Enough lockers are available for keeping belongings like bags ,footwear, cameras, mobile phones, etc. and separate areas for depositing and withdrawing articles.Initially photography of the main parts of the temple were allowed but now it is prohibited(probably due to security issues).The temple complex is magnificent with beautiful carvings of different deities such as ganesha,etc on stone walls. Till to this date of writing this review, only about 40% of the work of the temple complex has been completed. Once completed, the temple complex would be more magnificent.

A truly mystical and peaceful place! This ancient tree is believed to be from the Mahabharata era, linked to Queen Kunti and Lord Krishna. The tree is unique – said to bloom without seeds – and the air is filled with divine fragrance when it flowers. There's also a small temple beside it that adds to the spiritual vibe. A perfect spot for history lovers, spiritual seekers, or anyone wanting to explore hidden gems near Lucknow. Visit early morning for a quiet experience. Clean surroundings, friendly locals, and free entry.

A great historical place, which unfortunately is severely underrated. This Parijat tree is deemed to be originated from Samudra-Manthan, which Pandavas have again brought back from heaven and planted by Arjun at current place during their exile. The tree remains green for 6 months and goes dry for next 6 months in the year. The place is easily approachable by own conveyance, however public transport can be time consuming. It worths visiting it, if you are nearby or on religious tour.

Parijat tree , said to be brought from heaven and planted by Arjun by digging a hole through his arrow into the earth.

Visiting the Parijaat Tree in Baraulia, Uttar Pradesh, is a memorable and spiritually enriching experience. The site is home to an ancient baobab tree that holds significant religious and mythological importance, attracting devotees and tourists alike.

It is a wonderful experience for anyone who believes in Hinduism. Its history and the story behind this place being worshipped is just what you will expect from any ancient place with rich culture.

The Parijāt Tree, located in Kintoor (Kintur) village about 38 km east of Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, is a unique and sacred botanical wonder. Here's why it's revered: --- 🌳 What Makes It Special 1. Baobab in India This is an Adansonia digitata (African baobab) — a species native to sub‑Saharan Africa. Its presence in Uttar Pradesh is extraordinary and unmatched in India . 2. Legendary Roots Mythology associates the tree with the Mahabharata: One belief is that Arjun brought the tree from heaven to honor his mother Kunti, who used its flowers to offer to Lord Shiva. This act is said to have blessed the Pandavas with victory . Another version suggests Krishna brought it for Queen Satyabhama from Indralok (realm of the gods) . 3. Kalpavriksha or Wish‑Granting Tree According to Harivansh Purāṇ, Parijāt is a divine Kalpavriksha — a mythological wish‑granting tree found in heaven. The one in Kintoor is believed to uniquely embody that celestial power . Flowering & Appearance The flowers are white, and when they dry, they turn a golden color, adding to the mystical appeal. Flowering is rare and generally occurs after Ganga Dassehara, often drawing pilgrims . Folklore claims the flowers bloom only at night due to a curse from Lord Indra, hence they never bloom in the day . Protection & Preservation The site is fenced and preserved by local authorities and the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), which has treated infections and is working to clone the tree via tissue culture. Physical offerings had previously damaged the trunk, prompting stricter conservation efforts . 🛕 Visiting Information Location: Kintoor village, ~38 km east of Barabanki; about 63 km from Lucknow (1.5‑2 hrs by road) . **How to Reach:** Via road: From Lucknow take the L‑Bh Bypass → Ramnagar → Kintoor.

Indira Gandhi Botanical Garden ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Indira Gandhi Botanical Garden is a serene and well-maintained spot, perfect for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Spread over a vast area, it boasts a diverse range of flora, making it an ideal place for those looking to explore plant varieties or simply enjoy some greenery. The walking paths are well-laid and shaded, offering a pleasant experience even during sunny days. The garden is equipped with seating areas and open spaces, which are great for picnics or relaxation. It’s also a good spot for morning walkers and joggers, as the environment feels fresh and rejuvenating. However, the lack of proper signage in certain areas can make navigation slightly confusing for first-time visitors. Additionally, the cleanliness of public restrooms could be improved. Overall, the Indira Gandhi Botanical Garden is a delightful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, offering a peaceful retreat into nature. With minor improvements, it has the potential to become a top-tier botanical destination.
