Baria The Beautiful

Baria has quite a few picturesqe places - for example Sunset point at Chougania valley south of the town, through which meanders the Panam river.

The valley provides a breath taking sight of egrets flying home from the river and Tidki reservoir in twilight.

Less than 2 kimters east of Chougania is the relatively unspoilt Khos valley with any number of hiking trails away from vehicular noise and emissions. That is where clusters of Mahua trees transform the arid landscape when they shed their leaves in peak summer. The intensity of the colour needs to be seen to be believed. Nature’s spread lasts but a few weeks, before the farmers burn the leaves to facilitate gathering of Mahua flowers for making inter alia the heady mahua wine.
