Read moreWe went to dhonsi ka pahad in the month of November. The weather was pleasant so we enjoyed the ride to this place. The mountain is in Narnaul region of Rajasthan state. It has great historical significance which we didn't knew before arriving at a resort in narnul. The guys from the resort told us everything about the history of Narnaul and Dhonsi ka pahad and chayavan rishi along with many other amazing facts. All in all, if you're looking for a one day picnic, a bike ride to some place close to NCR with some offroading adventures, it can be a great spot for you. The mountain trek is a treacherous journey to the top, however once you make it to the top, the view is simply breathtaking. It's the crator of an extinct volcano 🌋 and there's a well on the top of it which is a great source of cold water to chill out after a strenuous journey. One thing is for sure, if you love adventure and are bored of the popular destinations near NCR, you should certainly try Narnaul. Also, there are some other great monuments as well...
Read moreThe hill is in Narnaul District. Takes time to reach via road (Bike at 50-60km/hr). Better to visit as early as possible, preferably early Morning. The hill is steep, mostly only youngsters would be able to climb, the crater of the pre-Cambrian eruption has temples comparitively recently built and renovated. The entire course of climb, defend, climb & defend would take atleast 2-3 hours + any roaming around on the top of hill, to search hemu's fort remains would add up another 1.5 - 3.5 hours. Considering the historic value, not bad to visit. The roads from Delhi to Narnaul are better most of the times. Beware of taking wrong route via Mahendragarh, take Delhi, Rewari, Narnaul route (shortest according to...
