Phuldungri Hill is a safe place for the tourist but it’s always better to follow certain tips while visiting as it is situated in an isolated place. Here are some tips to follow for a secure visit to Phuldungri Hill.
The hill is completely covered by the forest and therefore, it becomes isolated after sunset, so, avoid visiting the hill during the dark hours.
Avoid visiting the hill alone, always be in a group. The safest time to visit is between 6 am to 4 pm. It is much safer to visit the hill during the peak season, i.e December to February. Carry water bottles, medicines, snacks, and other refreshments along.
The masses of tall Sal trees and red pebbles entice the tourists. The stunning aerial view of Ghatshila from the highest of Phuldungri Hills and therefore the beautiful dawn and sundown will still be clean to your reminiscence for the future. The view at night is really scintillating when the lights of the town are on. We can see that they are widespread out and shining like stars all sides of the landscape. While these vistas are mesmerising and unique, treak trail amidst the forest is also alluring. A stroll through the densely wooded area offers us a wonderful, out-of-the-world entertainment.
Upon climbing the highest, one can obtain an aerial view of Ghatshila. This view is particularly remarkable in the dark when the sunshine of the town is switched on and one can see them opened up all across the landscape. While the view is mesmerising on its own, the trek trail itself is not any less. Passing through dense forests, it’s a comparatively less known path that’s bound to enthrall you if you wish trekking generally.
