I have found an article on SHIMULTALA, where a new Netarhat type of School is
proposed to be opened. Let us hope for the very best.

Shimultala - a tranquil escape



 




Shimultala – a land of softly
rolling hills, tranquil landscapes and old-fashioned houses.

Located
in the Jamui district of Bihar, Shimultala is a health resort known for
its inviting climate and good water. No shopping malls, no multiplex
movie theaters, no fine-dine restaurants – this is a place where one
lets go of one's worries to enjoy life matching the drunken pace of the
sluggish river flowing aside.

Standing on the pedestrian
bridge of the railway station one can get a panoramic view of the place
– puffs of white cloud floating against a background of azure
firmament, the uneven land dotted with archaic mansions, cattle grazing
in the velvety green valleys, a river flowing by at a distance, the
intoxicating sunlight washing the landscape in gold. Time goes by as
one listens to birds chirping away, trekking the countryside, savoring
the hush of silence as night falls while counting the stars that
illuminate the backdrop of night sky. The happiness of day-to-day life
can be discovered here. Vacationing in Shimultala means peace and
tranquility, long refreshing walks, campfires, spending time with
family and friends, reading books and of course sumptuous meals.

Talking
about food, while visiting Shimultala one should not forget to gulp in
a handful of “Chhanar-Murki”, a traditional sweet dish of the place!

Getting there:
Shimultala
has a small rail station that lies on the Howrah-Delhi mainline route
of Eastern Railway at a distance of 348 km from Howrah.

Site Seeing:
As
far as site seeing is concerned, there are many picturesque spots
across the hamlet. Two of the famous sites are “Haldi Jharna”, an
extremely narrow water fall at a distance of 3 km from the station and
“Lattu Pahar”, the highest of all the neighboring hillocks, situated at
a distance of 2 km from the station. Auto rickshaws, cycle rickshaws
and hired cars are easily available for touring around the place.

Where to stay:
There
are numerous hotels and holiday homes most of which are old
cottages/bungalows renovated for commercial purpose. Accommodation
charges range from cheap to fairly affordable hotels, however because
of its remote location deluxe facilities are not available.

Simultala
A Healthy Place: Once I went Simultala & stayed there 15 days,
after reading your nice description, remembered about that beautiful
place. And must try to go there with my family.
