Chikhaldara-Hill Station-Pride Of Vidarbha
Chikhaldara-An Alluring Hill Station In Vidarbha
It was time to say Goodbye to 2018 And Welcome 2019, We thought of planning a short trip. So, we decided to go to Chikhaldara, a splendid marvelous Beauty of Nature settled in the Vidarbha region of Amravati district. Although it wasn't a seasonal time, we thought its a nice place and still, we can enjoy most of it.
Chikhaldara is a hill station in the Amravati district of Maharashtra. According to an old Mythology of Mahabharata, this is the place where Bheema killed the villainous Keechaka in a herculean bout and then threw him into the valley. It thus came to be known as Keechakadara popularly known as Chikhaldara.

Reached Chikhaldara
THE View -Mozari Point
We reached Chikhaldara around 11:30 am so it took around 5 hrs 30 min Drive from Nagpur to reach Chikhaldara via Amravati Via paratwada. The ghat road made us really dizzy and nauseous. as soon as we reached Chikhaldara, I came to know JIO network doesn't work here, and the Airtel 3G data was barely working. so, we had to take a guide with us, since we weren't familiar with roads. there was a tourist information center on the main road, and if you aren't traveling by private vehicle, you can hire gypsy which was available at the tourist information center.
we thought we should first look for a hotel. the first hotel we look was good but they say don't have a heater facility and we can't manage without a heater since it was winter. so we saw a hotel near the bus stop and it was ok-good, it contains One big room and washroom, two-room charge around 1500 with two big beds in each room, so it was a good deal.
we took our lunch and since one of our traveling partner wasn't feeling well, so we thought, let him rest and rest of us went to visit the weekly market of chikhaldara. chikhaldara is the only coffee-growing area in Maharashtra, so if you are a coffee lover like me, you can buy some coffee powder or coffee beans, you will get a good quality of the coffee powder.
At 1:00 PM we started our Tour for beautiful spots of chikhaldara.
Roads were Totally Bad while visiting many places and especially echo point.

Point of Interest
Bhim-Kund
 |
| View at Bhim-Kund Point |
This Place can be enjoyed only during the rainy season, cause when we reached here, there was no waterfall, but still, the best place to enjoy the beautiful view of the mountain in chikhaldara.
Bhim Kund is the place where Bheema killed the villainous Keechaka and then threw him into the valley. After killing the Keechka, Bheema took a bath in the waters of Bhimkund, that's why it is named Bhim Kund.
There were many monkeys at Bhim Kund and there was a lady, who bought some ber and suddenly a monkey jump on her and took that ber. so, be cautious while eating at Bhim Kund. While the place is really beautiful, you can enjoy a peaceful time here and there are photographers. if you wanna click a family picture, they will click it for 40-50 Rs.
