Syntu Ksiar Fish Sanctuary - Park in Jowai - West Jaintia Hills, India

Don't be misled that you would see fishes here. It's a sanctuary for fishes to flourish in the nearby river. You will get to see local life though : people fishing, betting on an archery game (am told this happens once in a while). It's a peaceful place. But if you are a tourist on a fixed schedule - you may want to avoid this. But if you are a wanderer like me - you would sit hours here doing nothing in the tranquility of the place.

Excellent Place To Chill Out with Family and Freinds ,

Fish Sanctuary....Syntu Ksiar is a vast stretch of land that lies on the banks of Myntdu River. The literal meaning of Syntu Ksiar is 'the golden flower' in the local Jaintia language. According to the legend, the place got its name from a lady called Syntu of 'Iawchibidi' clan. It is believed that the lady was committed suicide by jumping into the river here. After she got drown into the river, a beautiful golden flower blooms in the middle of the river which is said to be very beautiful and cannot be plucked by anybody. Thus, the place got its name from this particular flower which grows here.

The view of the valley from above is interesting. Suddenly a vast expanse opens up.

Great place..

Another place for the eyes to feast upon. It's a historic and scenic place in jowai. Do visit it.

Only one word "simply woow"

Extremely serene and beautiful place. A little dam over a clear stream flowing in a wide valley amidst golden ripening rice fields. The landscape is further enhanced by tufts of swaying white kaash flowers. The hills are covered with conifers, through which the access road to the valley winds down. The only problem is - this place is accessed through a crowded Jowai town that has narrow winding roads, this being a hill town. The roads are one way most of the way, so watch out.
