    Personal highlights

    1. Crying Stone: a large boulder balancing on a rock and looking like a giant
    2. Inaccessible: having to stop on a busy road and hike 30 minutes to get there
    3. Tourism: local people playing tour guide and asking for money (entrance fee?)
    4. History: the guide illustriously explains the fantastic story of the crying stone
    5. Tribal War: this is where Luhyas allegedly defeated the Nandis, who then retreated
