Why this order works

Both hills are best in the morning and the lake is best at the end. Going north through the day also keeps you moving in one direction rather than backtracking.

Meal, fuel and toilet anchors

  • Meal: plan lunch around Saltora / Mejia side; specific establishments not verified.
  • Fuel: fill before leaving Bankura town.

Avoid if

  • With seniors — two hills in one day is a lot of uneven ground.
  • In May and June.
  • If you cannot leave by seven.
