A really nice little place where Murali (wall paintings) play a big role. The houses are lovingly decorated with flowers and other accessories. Otherwise the place offers nothing. So if you don't like wall paintings, you don't need to make a detour here

A memorial against poaching. The traps were found in the nature park and many animal lives were saved.
