Bhuvaneshwari Mata Temple - the Hidden Gem for Travellers in the Aravali Woods

As you travel on Sohna road from Sadar Bazaar in Gurugram towards Sohna, you would reach the Aravali woods in no time.

The Aravali woods are composed of several hillocks and the green belt covering them.

In case you stay in Gurugram or even the entire NCR, this is the place to go if you want to be in the "Hills"!

Well, hills you would not get.

But hillocks, yes.

The Aravali range spanning across Rajasthan and Haryana is a range of hillocks that provide several spots for travellers to explore.

One such spot is the Bhuvaneshwari Mata Temple.

Hidden well inside the Aravali woods and around 3-4 kms from the main Sohna Road is a gem of a temple called the Bhuvaneshwari Mata Temple.

For reaching Bhuvaneshwari Mata Temple, you need to take the road going along the Camp of 95th Battalion of BSF in the Bhondsi area.

Here are some pictures of the Bhuvaneshwari Mata Temple and its surroundings.

Lohagarh Farms - Some Pictures that Show Village Life and Some Adventure

Lohagrah farms is situated in the Aravalis at a short distance from the city of Gurugram.

It is built around the concept of village life and adventure.

It is essentially meant to provide the visitors a first-hand and close experience of village life - rural food, farms, farm animals, etc.

It also has some adevnture and thrill activities like obstacles, haunted house, etc.

Here are some pictures from a recent visit to Lohagarh farms.

Visit to Narnaul - Dhosi Hill and Jal Mahal

Narnaul is a great place near Delhi to go and visit for a one day trip.

It is around 150 to 160 kms from Delhi and can be reached in 3 hours time by car.

The condition of the road is average to good.

For reaching Narnaul, you can take the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway NH48 (formerly called NH8) till Behror (which comes immediately after Neemrana) and then leave the NH to take the smaller road towards right at the Behror intersection point.

You have to be careful to stay left and come right under the flyover and then take the right just under the flyover to reach the road that goes to Narnaul.

Even after one leaves the NH, the road condition is quite good.

Though there are many places to see in Narnaul, on a recent family trip, I managed to just see two of them - Dhosi Hill and Jal Mahal.

Dhosi Hill

The first place I visited was the Dhosi Hill.

In many places on the Internet Dhosi Hill is incorrectly called as Dhonsi Hill.

It is actually Dhosi (or maybe Dhausi) and not Dhonsi.

There is no "n" in Dhosi or Dhausi Hill.

This hill has couple of temples and an extinct volcano site.

The trek to the the Hanuman template in the middle of the hill and then from there to the top of the hill is quite enjoyable as there is a proper track which is in an excellent condition.

Here are some of the photographs of the Dhosi Hill in Narnaul.

Jal Mahal

The second place I visited was the Jal Mahal in Narnaul.

This is the place Emperor Akbar used to frequent while passing through the Narnaul area.

When I visited, there was no water at all.

There was no "Jal" or water in the Jal Mahal.

Despite that, the whole place looked splendid even without the water.

Here are some of the photographs of the Jal Mahal in Narnaul.
