Mayur Pahar is the place to watch the day end in Ajodhya — a short climb to a viewpoint with wide views across the hills and plateau.
As the sun sets, the landscape turns gold and then soft blue. On clear winter evenings you can see far across the Purulia countryside.
Make the most of it
Plan your sightseeing so you finish at Mayur Pahar in the late afternoon, then head back to the resort for dinner and a starlit evening on your veranda.
Quick tips
- Arrive 30–40 minutes before sunset
- Carry a torch for the way down
- A light jacket helps in winter evenings
