Rumassala
Natural Beauty
Rumassala is a fascinating and mysterious place wrapped in folklore. According to a fascinating legend, during the battle between the Indian King Rama and King Ravana of Lanka, Rama’s brother Luxmana was injured and Hanuman the Monkey God was sent to the Himalayas to fetch a medicinal herb. Hanuman forgot the exact name of the herb; therefore, he removed a part of the Himalayan Mountain on which the plant was said to grow. However, the mountain fragment slipped and broke into five pieces. One fell to Rumassala and formed a mountain. A large number of medicinal plants still grow on Rumassala. A temple and statue dedicated to Hanuman can be seen in Rumassala carrying forward the legend.
