After handing over the booking paper to us, he told that there are two routes to go Hill Top. But he suggested going via Sirkabad.
The trip might be unfinished without seeing the small stream or green valley from the road.
But we choose the best time to go. It was monsoon and there was raining. You may miss many things if you do not wish to in the rainy season.
Sirkabad is smallest route compare to go via Baghmundi. The road is so steep. But if you want an unforgettable travel experience then it will not disappoint you.
There was no road in-front of us. We slowed down and discover the route which was covered by an inclined rock face. The valley seen from the Highland was picturesque.
Don’t press break when you are riding on gradient
This was the first lesson we learned before entering Ajodhya. One of our fellow bikers stopped in the middle of the steep road, he lost his balance immediately and fell from his two-wheeler. Thank god, nothing had happened to him.
They will block your road
When we were driving, the other pilgrim-ers stopped us. They were many in numbers. But they were not human, check out my video to see who they were!!!!
It will force you to stop
There are full of opportunity when you are driving. It will stop you in every 5 minutes interval to take some portraits.

It was minimum 45 minutes; we were not able to see any houses. But at last, we saw some huts. Walls of these huts were faded red which made these houses unique. It was an indication that we were nearer to our final destination.
But I was shocked for a moment; how they live their life. Nothing is there, nothing. It is far behind from our city life.
Keeping those things in mind which made my breath heavy; at-last we reached our hotel.
We hired two dormitories. We checked in. We freshened up. Took our meal and took some rest. Then again we started our exploration.

For You
How to reach: From Howrah to Purulia so many trains are available e.g. Rupasibangla Exp, Lalmati Exp, Hwh Ckp Exp. It will be better to hire a privet car to reach Ajodhya. Explore the rest of the day (Upper Dam, Marble rocks) and stay at the hotel at night. Then next day you can go Bamni Falls, Mayur Pahar, Chandni Pahar, Yogini caves, Lower Dam, Pakhi Pahar, Charida village.
Where to stay: It will be better to stay at Hill Top. There is only one Govt guest house (Niharika). But you have to book earlier. Otherwise, some small cottages are there, nearer to govt guest house.
Where to eat: For that you need to depend upon the guest house. You cannot find any star hotels there. You can eat Desi Murgi, mutton. You can pay your hotel owner to cook.
