Dashrath Manjhi Memorial
Built in the memory of Dashrath Manjhi also known as Mountain Man, who lived in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India.
He carved a path 110 m long (360 ft), 9.1 m (30 ft) wide and 7.7 m (25 ft) deep through a ridge of hills using only a hammer and chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55 km to 15 km.
This place is a great picnic spot and hundreds of tourists visit the place for its scenic beauty.
