The Jaswantpura hills
are covered with greenery and preserve the historical heritage. According

mount with mini Kashmir.

constructed a road to reach the mountains, which are still available
today. But due to lack of maintenance, the roads are scattered.Raja
Maharajas who came from the erstwhile princely house had built drawing rooms,
hospitals, queen palace in the hills and also built dungeons to punish
dangerous criminals.

here for months and lived here for months, and during the summer days, the
hills are surrounded by greenery and the waterfalls falling here in the rain

rains last year, the road is completely broken, so it is not possible to go
above the vehicle.
