Places to visit

Dharamgarh Tea garden

We arrived just an hour before sunset, when locals called it a day and were returning to their homes after a working day. The tea state in middle of oak forest is beautiful. We stopped at the Dharamgarh town to pick up Chetan from Mountain Heights Adventure zone. We hiked till the top while Chetan explained about the place, its history, locals, treks, bicycle tours. After the hike we went for a short bicycle ride till sunset point where we captured beautiful sunset.

Hanging rocks

Located at 600 meters distance from Ojaswi Tea garden resort through a small nature trail, you will find a 180 degree view point, from here you will be able to witness not one, not two but more then 13 mountain peaks starting from Trishul, Mrigthuni, Panwali dwar, Nanda devi, Nanda devi east, Nanda devi kot, Raj Rambha, five peaks of Panchachuli and Anapurana range in Nepal.

It is 2 hour trek from the property or you can choose to drive till the main gate, then a small trek will lead you to the park. photography is prohibited at the park.

Patal Bhuvneswar

It is equally fascinating for a reverent and a adventurous explorer, Patal Bhuvneswar is not a place to be skipped. It is a wonderful lime stone cave which is protected by archaeological department of India. the entrance is a very narrow partially vertical cave path which leads to a set of big connected caves. This underground cave enshrines Lord Shiva and thirty three koti Gods, The locals believe that the different rock formations represents different mythological incidents, places and gods.

My favorite is "bhang ki chutney” with Aloo paratha, which I had near Sheraghat on the way towards Chaukori. there are lots to freshly prepared tasty cuisines. You can order local cuisines at Ojaswi Tea resort or can also step out and find a table at local restaurant.
