It is a small uphill town and famous for “Golden Caves” but the town itself has some curious points, such as the traditional paper production, ancient monasteries and umbrella workshops. “The Golden Caves” is actually some elevation above the town and accessed through the way under the shady century old banyan trees. The main cave is fully packed with a variety of Buddha-images, stupas, figures and embellishments along its length datable not earlier than 16th century. Curiously, Indian style images and donors are experienced in a reasonable number. The cool breeze and panoramic view on the environs, including Ponetaloke lake at a distance are of fantastic and incredible.
