Tourist Attractions & Monuments North India

Khecheopalri Lake, located at an altitude of 1 700 metres, is considered sacred by both Buddhists and Hindus. It is surrounded by colourful Tibetan prayer flags. It is a pleasant stopover on the road between Pelling and Yuksom.

The museum opened its doors in 1991 and its name pays tribute to Bangur Juar, a personality from Pali. It exhibits a varied but rich collection of traditional clothing, coins and weapons. It includes 6 different sections: prehistoric period, archaeological section, numismatics, painting, weapons and armour, crafts and tribal art. This last section highlights in particular the Garasiya tribe, still present today between Udaipur and northern Gujarat.

The presence of a fort above the village of Achalgarh dates back to the Paramara dynasty that ruled Rajasthan from the 9th to the 14th century. The structure still visible dates from the mid-15th century, but not much of it remains. The two entrance gates, Hanuman Pol and Champa Pol, are still standing. The creamy white temple, located within the fort and seemingly hugging the hilltop, is dedicated to Shiva. Other Jain temples, in less good condition, can also be seen, including one dating from 1513.
