Hathai Kotor Park
The Green Sanctuary: Hathai Kotor Park, formerly known as Baramura Eco Park, is a magnificent ecological destination designed to showcase the natural heritage of the Baramura hill range. The park is sprawling and meticulously maintained, offering a blend of manicured gardens and wild forest patches. It serves as a vital lung for the region, housing a diverse array of flora including medicinal plants and rare orchids. Visitors enter through a grand gate that leads to winding stone pathways, flanked by colorful flower beds that bloom throughout the year. The park features a unique suspension bridge that provides an elevated view of the stream flowing below, adding a touch of thrill to the peaceful walk. There are several rest huts and viewpoints strategically placed to allow visitors to soak in the panoramic vistas of the surrounding hills. The park is particularly popular for its "Log Huts," which offer an immersive stay experience for those wanting to wake up to the sound of chirping birds. Educational signage throughout the park informs visitors about the local ecosystem and the importance of conservation. The air here is noticeably fresher, and the temperature is usually a few degrees cooler than the nearby towns. It is a perfect spot for families to spend a day out, with ample space for children to play and adults to relax. The integration of traditional tribal motifs in the park's design reflects the local culture of the Tripuri community.
