About
The bridge joins two hillocks of the Parjatan Motel grounds across a lake channel. It sways a little, the view is water and hills in every direction, and at full lake in the monsoon the deck can go under and close. There are boats to hire below it, a cafe and the motel. It is the most visited spot in the district and busy on holidays; early morning is quiet.
Getting there: CNG from the town to the Parjatan complex, 15 minutes, or by boat.
Things to do
- Cross at sunrise, then take a boat from the ghat below.
Good to know
- In August and September check it is open; the lake can cover it.
