The very ambience of the town is soaked in tranquillity and spirituality. Its sunrise and sunset are divine on a clear day. There are many beautiful temples in the town and its vicinity each having their own spiritual tales of faith that can move mountains and awe inspiring legends of their presiding deities.

Team TGI has done due diligence of the town and its surroundings in the last 2 years. It has evaluated its potential as an eco-tourism destination offering a bouquet of engagements to general tourists and adventure enthusiasts.There are many beautiful villages and orchards dotting the townscape.

The Kings of Kyonthal built a marvel of architecture-the King’s Palace at Junga. The crafting on wood, pillars and its foundation, the size of the main gate etc makes it a unique and amazing possession of ruins of rich architecture and heritage.
The town has a lot to show up for heritage. There is a 600 years old but decrepit palace of the erstwhile King of Junga in serious need of restoration. Once restored, it will make a fascinating site. Even now, as it is, a discerning eye will not fail to notice its beauty. There is a very famous temple right outside the palace and the heritage building adjacent to the palace could well be a royal heritage hotel. Relatively modern architecture of the New Palace makes it no less appealing. It is a two story structure with wooden beams and pillars. The wood carvings are as intricate as they are amazing. The walls of the lounge and corridor are embellished with sepia and B/W portraits of the erstwhile royalty in all its regalia. Rare artefacts and antiques galore in the New Palace. The collection of rare books is a collector’s delight. There is a huge cache of ancient weapons & armour including bejewelled swords and muskets.Evenings are celebrated at the campsite with dance, music and bonfire. One can enjoy the snacks along with evening cocktails and drinks glowing in the warmth of the bonfire.
Bonfire nights at TGI mae good memories for they celebrate bonding, bonhomie and joy in the wilderness under the star studded sky. Every evening at 8 p.m., a bonfire is lit for TGI’s beloved guests along with some light music and delicious snacks.
