So these time m sharing my visit to my home town (Ranchi) and places around there.
Ayodhya Hill is located approximately 134 km from Ranchi city and 335km from Howrah station (kolkata).
This place is at purulia district which is in border of jharkhand n West Bengal state. The road distance from Ranchi can be cover in 3 hours . Road is state highway and good in condition.
Ayodhya Hill is small hill surrounded by lush green forest with 9_10 mesmerizing view point which make a place worth for a holiday trip.
Good hotel in hill is hardly available at the hill, only one resort HILL top is there which take online booking. However there are small homestay available but online booking facility is not there and you have to contact them directly after reaching there.
We stayed at Sagar Raj resort ,which is 40 km away from the hill and in purulia city.
This hills offer u some amazing hill views...,waterfall, tribal village cultures and dam views.
Some spots to mention
Turga water fall
Turga fall
To see this fall you have to Trek down around 40-50 step down. Trekking is moderate. There is no gate around so no closing time but it's recommended to come back by 6pm as it is 8n jungle.
Some eateries and chaiwala is available at the entrance to make ur appetite full 😊
Trekking
Mayur pahad
This place was once famous for the roaming of peacocks. So it's called as Mayur pahad , if you’re lucky, you might even see a peacock, but unfortunately we were not 😜

When in Bangle must try local "maach bhath"
As a traveller I love eating at local dhabas to get the authentic taste
There was more view point like marble lake ..pakhi pahar etc to explore the beauty of this hill . But since it was too hot as we came in May month ,we have ended our trip in one day and back to our city next day .
