Visit to Kota Mines
 |
| We sit quiet for few minutes to introspect ourselves |

| Let me meditate before sun rises |
With fifteen minutes of meditation and breakfast, we started journey to the Kota mines at around 9:00 am. It took almost an hour to reach the destination. We spent half an hour learning about the mining site. There are wonderful things happening at the site. We learnt the Kota stones are exported to other countries in due reason of its quality. Kota stones are considered having cooling effect if these are used for flooring. Moreover, Kota stone flooring shines more if mopped more.
We had fifteen minutes sight seeing stop on the top of mining area. It's amazing to see Ahu river flowing around the mining area.
