Tourists can now come here without worrying about lodging or food or security and enjoy the serenity of the place in peace. Deul is as rich in nature as it is in historical significance.

Instead of staying locked up in the resort room, take a walk outside, enjoy the lovely atmosphere of the river bank and have a chat with the locals to learn about the common folklore and other native cultures. The beauty of such places always lies in the simplicity, quaintness and rusticity, and Deul Park is no different from the rest. Read More
