Supriya Hill
The Forest Retreat: Supriya Hill is a hidden paradise for nature lovers and trekkers. Located near the Ranibahal area, it offers a lush green environment dominated by Sal and Mohua trees. The hill provides a panoramic view of the Mayurakshi River winding through the valley below. It is a popular spo t for local students and families for weekend outings and nature study. The climb to the top is moderately easy, making it accessible for most age groups. The air here is incredibly fresh, and the sound of the wind through the trees provides a natural symphony. Many visitors come here for the solitude it offers, away from the more crowded tourist spots like Masanjore. The hill has religious significance for the local tribes, who consider it a sacred grove. In recent years, it has become a hotspot for "Eco-tourism," with efforts to keep the area plastic-free. The sunrise from the top is as spectacular as the sunset, painting the river in shades of gold. It is a perfect place for a day-long retreat into the lap of Mother Nature.

Things To Do
-
Nature Activities: Trekking to the summit is the main attraction, offering a good workout and great rewards. Bird watching is excellent, with chances to see kingfishers and hornbills. Photography of the river curves from the top is a highlight for many. Picnicking in the shaded forest patches at the base is a common family activity. Many visitors enjoy identifying rare medicinal plants found on the hillside. Meditating near the hilltop shrine provides spiritual peace. Exploring the nearby Ranibahal bridge for a riverside walk is a great addition. Collecting fallen Mohua flowers (during season) to understand tribal life is interesting. Sketching the landscape from the viewing platform is a popular creative pursuit. Finally, taking a dip in the shallow parts of the river nearby (with caution) adds to the fun. ...
