Navlakha Kothar : Hidden Gem of Pawagadh

Navlakha Kothar : Hidden Gem of Pawagadh 

                             

              Life is busy. “Ha Baka sure”, “Jane de na yaar time hi Nahi hai”, “Ok, let’s catch up one weekend”,  " I’ll call you next week". We are juggling between these phrases. These are our usual phrases when we want to do something and we don’t. We ‘get busy’. Our routine has restrained us in such a bond that we can’t break. 

                                     

                             

                         

          Have we asked ourselves question- what are we leading to? Are we really happy? Do we need things we want? we need to. We need to ask. We need to unplug. We need to disconnect. We need to detox. From our daily routine. Life begins when we take our first breath and it ends with our last. But whatever happens in between, sometimes we just take all for granted. So for a change just slow down. Just let yourself Free. Free to breathe fresh air. Free to give some time to be yourself. Free to recharge your soul and rejuvenate your mind.  Free for your loved ones, for your friends, and for your family. Free for yourself. 

“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realise we only have one.”- Confucius 

                               

                               

            And what is the best place for this? Yes, our dearest mighty Pawagadh. It amazes me how can a place has so much to offer? Every time we get a different vibe from it. And when we talk about peace we have a perfect hidden corner for you on the top of Pawagadh. Who would have thought that among the Bhid and chaos of Pawagadh there is one such secluded place? So serene.. so peaceful...

 

                          

                          

        At the highest peak of the Pawagadh mountain on the Northside, there is a heritage building with large dome-shaped roofs. The building is called Navlakha Kothar because it is situated on the edge of the Navlakhi valley. It is a great example of Mughal architecture. This building was believed to be used as a store of grains and extra food. 

                                    

                                    
         While climbing stairs you have to go right from the Jain temple to go to Navlakha Kothar. But if you are going via ropeway then you have come down a little. One small lake is also there just beside the building. The place is heaven in monsoon and winter.
      

                             

                                  

             If you are going with kids please be careful because the place is just at the edge of the cliff. One step ahead and there is a deep valley, straight 90 degrees. Don’t let your kids go away. Keep them with you constantly. 

      

    

                              

       

      

          Take a picnic basket and a few mats with you… what more can we ask for.. a good cup of tea.. company of friends and family and such a beautiful place…Life is sorted…
      

      So that’s it from Safar with SaSha. See you next week .
