Well-designed 9th-century fort
Naga monarchs from the 9th century constructed the Manikgad Fort. Located around 35 kilometres southwest of Chandrapur, Manikgarh has recently gained fame due to the opening of a cement industry in the area. Manigarh, a hill fort constructed by Naga monarchs in the 9th century, is located 507 metres above sea level. With ramparts and bastions, it was well protected.
Suggested Duration - 2 to 3 hours
The once-thriving fort is now a wreck and a haven for local animals. In spite of the thick woodland around it, a paved road comes within striking distance of the fort's main gate. Ruins, walls, tanks and bastions are all that are left of the once-mighty fort. Strong defences from that time period are still visible in the ruins of its walls and towers.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
