But I knew I would come back to it, not just to reread it, but also to comment upon it.<br /><br />I agree: with all its history, and being less than two hundred kilometres away, I never came around visiting it. If I manage to plan a trip, I will make sure I stay at the Manjusha Hotel. The greenery around and the river right next door is hard to resist. I could easily spend half a day sitting on the bank, reading a book, listening to the water lapping up against the shore. I think I noticed the Ravenala or Traveller's Tree in the garden. It's a very strange-looking tree and I was mesmerised the first time I saw it.<br /><br />The Hazarduari is impressive. The expansive grounds on which it is set, the Greek columns and the splendour under lights, at night makes it look like it belongs in Rome!<br /><br />Sincerely<br />Nishant.Nishanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476670168055492486noreply@blogger.com
