Deoghar Dec 2009
Overview of the destination
If you have pilgrimage in mind, Deoghar is great. Along with it you can enjoy the excellent Trikut Ropeway (8am to 5pm). It has an elevation of 44 degrees. Avoid holidays for such visits. It is crowded and dirty. Never have food in road side hotel. Drink a lot of water where it is served clean. It helps in digestion and increases your appetite. Keep not more than 3 days. Road are not that good, trains are better. Prefer AC compartments. You may club Maithan/Madhupur/Giridih.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
Stay in a good hotel and have food there. Enjoy tea in the roadside stalls. Tower chowk have some excellent roadside snack bars. Enjoy the food if you are not prone to dysentery. Enjoy Trikut ropeway. Buy pendas and oranges (Rs.30 per kg). Have kheer malai.

Activities & things to do
Enjoy food, water and the hills around.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Avoid visiting the temple if it is crowded. Prefer evening and night visits. Please check Baba dham website to know the timings. Carry dysentery pills. Drink local water from a purifier. Believe the pandas with decent shops of Pendas. They will help you a lot.

B. Deoghar an Ultimate Secret Holy Destination
Overview of the destination
Baidyanath Dham Deoghar is one of the most secret destinations of Indian tourism. Many parts are untouched till recently. It is not only Manokamna Jyotirlingam peeth as mentioned in Padma Purana one can get salvation by visiting the temple once in life time - 'An amaging holy experience'. The lone 'Chandrakanta mani' is fitted in central side of baba temple from where minute water droplets continuously falls over lingam and it is said that such neer (water) taken from lingam can itself beneficial for life hazard diseases. Chandrakanta mani was established by Ravana (King of Lanka) in Treta yug which he got from his elder brother Kuber from swarglok (Heaven) to pour Jal (water) continuously on Jyotirlingam. This system of watering is in continnum till today and so makes it important. If u r a hindu then U can touch the lingam only with your right hand thumb and little finger. With such sparsh Puja method u will get energised severely, as I felt several times. Nowadays Annual Shravani Mela is going on and thousands of pilgrim persons (local domestic tourist as well as foreigners) are visiting the place daily). Jharkhand Govt has decided to highlight the place by arranging Viswa Baidyanath Diwas first time on forth coming weeks.
