The setting of
the sun behind the clouds and the slopes of the hills, rushing of the misty smoke downwardly as insisting on to
engross the entire lake silently, after awhile all is lost in the mystery of
the unseen world reminding us of the philosophy of our life, a flock of ducks, nature
loving wanderers, solitude seeking souls and all who desire to steal the joyous
moments from their busy schedule, entire recalling us of an undiscovered heaven
lying on the earth that is around Ghoda Katora indeed, adjacent to Rajgir in
Nalanda district .
The land of Magadh
has been a prime witness of continuing glorious history of itself since very
ancient times. The mightiest Mahajanpada had lots of archaeological facts
earthed inside, claims the history of ages. Below the hills of Giriyak, nearby
the five hills of Rajgir is situated a very important historic site Ghoda
Katora.
According to the
observations of Archaeological Survey of India it seems that the site had been
a joint venue of various ancient civilizations and cultures. Many unearthed
parcels of those periods might have been hidden since the Gupta period.
This is a perfect place blessed by the nature
too. It is the first ecotourism site in the state with the opening of a two way
15 km green stretch inside the jungles at the foothills of Ratnagiri,105 km
from Patna coming in to reality.
The tourism officials said that the site
would be completely free from pollution. Polythene, plastic bags would not be
in use. No motorized vehicles would be permitted inside the area visitors would
have to ride either a bicycle or a tonga . The state tourism would
offer a tonga
ride package and a bicycle ride package at the cost of 100 Rs per person that
includes boating in the lake besides the riding.
Ghoda Katora nestled in a quiet
atmosphere offers blissful seclusion, famous not only for the historic facts,
but also supposingly claims to be a unique bird sanctuary in coming days due to
its surroundings. It would be a visual delight for bird watchers who could
experience the flying of rare birds from the different parts of the world all
around it.
Ghoda Katora , the
most natural beautiful place enclosed by the green hills, still remaining very
far away from the maddening crowd and the tourists. The site dots itself as a
great attraction point for the tourists with lush green meadows, valleys, hills
and even a lake. Adding more fun around the Ghoda Katora in future there would
be more adventure sports like paragliding, rock climbing and trekking. For the spirituality
and fitness freaks there might be some yoga points likely to be developed as
meditation centers at Dhaulagiri ranges, in
Dharamshala, Himachal. There has been a plan for making Swiss cottages along
the side of lake where one desirous can spend a thrilled night in nature backdrop
The stretching
world of greenery with stones completing silence everywhere soothes us. With
the coming of winter the migrant birds, their chirpings echo the valley with
the essence and truth of life. Life exists in peace and peace should exist in
life necessarily.
The calm lake,
at the foothills defines the absolute beauty of nature. Hills seem to be
sleeping inversely inside the lake till the cool and gentle breeze strikes its
surface. The weathering rocks and rolling stones alone have been experiencing
an ode to solitude. The extension of the lake reminds us of the famous lakes as
Ooti, Kodaikanal, Mirik, Nani, Dal and Nakki.
Summer passes
usually as the winter comes that marks the coming of birds from the different
locations. The migrant birds covering miles and miles arrive here in search of
peace, abode and fodder. Their action claims the continuation of the life.
In the lap of the hills the lake remains
completely natural and untouched inviting the viewers and tourists to view the
untouched beauty.
Surely the discovered land will mark its
appearance all over the world, but it needs some basic infrastructure as a good
network of road and communication, mode of conveyance and above all safety and
security for the visitors. It claims to be an eco-friendly site established for
its naturality and congenial environment. Soon the place indeed will be the
centre for poets, writers, filmmakers, philosophers and nature loving people.
Noticeably
efforts at office level are highly commendable bound to provide all basic
amenities to the visitors without disturbing its uniqueness and naturality. Soon
we will enjoy the divine, natural beauty of this place by 29 of January. Just after
the few days Ghoda Katora will be welcoming the all after the inaugural function
of Government. People may enjoy boating at the stretch of the lake in the colorful
boats made available by the tourism department Tourists may rest for a while in
eco-friendly huts made of bamboos and wood nearby the lakes.
Yet the
unmetalled road from Rajgir Roapway is at progress remaining eight kilometers
away from the location connecting the tourists from Rajgir.
With a say the
way will soon echo the sweetened voice of cyclist and the steps of the trekkers.
