    Jomblu Teertha is beautiful natural place with cool weather surrounding by forest. The river is very deep and covered by stone which can not see from top. Also there is good and safe place to enjoy. Most of the time tourists neglect the warnings written in signboard .

    So many people die in that place, still no lessons learnt. The water seems calm, but very dangerous. There is a hoarding with photos of drowned people & still people fall prey. Rip that's what we can pray.
