Purulia is mostly gentle plateau, but the Ajodhya Hills rise above it as the last step of the Chota Nagpur range. Choosing a hill top resort in Purulia means you sleep up here, in the cooler, quieter air — rather than driving up and down every day.
Why stay on the hilltop?
- Cooler nights and clean air, especially from October to March.
- Short drives to Marble Lake, Upper Dam, Lower Dam, Mayur Pahar, Bamni Falls and Turga Falls.
- Sunrise and sunset views without an early-morning drive uphill.
- Dark skies — on clear nights the stars are remarkable.
A day at Ajodhya Flame Tree
Morning: tea on your private cottage veranda as the mist lifts off the hills, followed by a complimentary breakfast.
Late morning: head out to Marble Lake and the Upper Dam while the light is soft, then continue to Turga Falls.
Afternoon: lunch at the in-house restaurant and a rest in your air-conditioned cottage.
Evening: watch the sunset from Mayur Pahar or simply from the resort gardens, then walk the lantern-lit pathways before dinner.
