Visiting an abandoned village at night
Visit the ghost village, Kuldhara.
Kuldhara village, an abandoned hamlet can be a worth visiting destination for an avid traveler. Legend points to the fact that the flourishing Paliwal community abandoned 84 villages overnight some 500 years ago. The tale of their suffering is equally bone-chilling and can leave you bewildered.
“Haunted Trail”, a guided tour of the region is the only way to explore the
place, in case you chose to visit it during night hours.
