Our stone crushers crushed those lofty mountains into stone pieces
that we used for all our construction works, a time came when the excavations were so deep that there were nothing more to find and we left the place. But when mother nature blessed the place with its midas touch, the destination becomes a paradise.
Visit the mines. It is located about 40 kms away from Bhubaneswar in Tapang, Nijigada area of Khurda in the close vicinity of NH16. As we arrived at the place and discussed with locals we were told that it used to be a stone mine a decade back. Excavation was going on all around the hill for stones and chips. When the excavation reached close to 150 feet below ground level sources of water emerged and ultimately it prohibited further digging. The stone mine became abandoned and these water bodies were developed all around the hill to give it a totally different look. Now, the beauty of this place is not less than any beautiful location that we are seeing in movies. There are several places close to the half broken hill that will give you stunning views and make you feel as if you are in a different world.
We clicked few pictures from that abandoned mines. Have a look at those and share your views. I am sure they will tempt you to visit !!
