Photo Travelogue :
Read first part - Here!
This 1300+ ft hill is right in the middle of the city. But finding the right track to its top was quite tricky for me and seemed like an impossible task. I went to all the wrong entry points and almost gave up. Asking here and there, in the end, I found that the main entry point was right under my nose. One has to take the very common Arya Vidyapeeth college road and go straight. Ignore the initial right turn that goes towards kahilipara, or the first left which goes to GMCH. Instead, take the second right thats a little further ahead straight and you enter a place called Sankarpur. And you are in the right place. From here on there was no looking back. Here's my trip in pics. Enjoy :-)
the temple on the top of that hill is actually visible from the plains...
and I start climbing my scooty straightaway...its too steep...
the view of surrounding rolling hills will mesmerise for sure...
this area is quite populated, inspite of being at such height...
eventually, I have to leave my scooty and walk uphill...
till I reach the steps of the temple...its a 300+ steps climb...whoa!
I'm in a dilemma, to climb them or not to climb..., they're intimidating for sure...
as I halt gasping for breath...I get these gorgeous views...
full cardio workout ho gayi aaj toh......
reached the top alas...with idol of ganesh greeting you...
I was not there for religious purpose, so, I simply say 'hi' to lord shiva n his nandi bull...
and, my main purpose was this...
one of the best viewpoints of guwahati city...the climb was so worth it...
three dstinct flags fly in the hill all the time near the temple, hence, its name...
sat on top for a whie enjoying the peace and serenity...a recommended place for hill lovers...
Address : Tin Jhanda Temple, Sathgaon, Sankarpur, Birubari Hills, Birubari, Guwahati-781032
