Understand
Shimultala, though on the Main Line of Eastern Railway is yet to develop. It is still a virgin country with valleys. hillocks, brooks and rivulets. Electricity is scarce and at this age, Mobile Phone signals are very weak to absent. Here you get tranquility, solitude and peace seldom found else where. The sound of silence, the far bigger sky dotted with innumerable twinkling stars and the pristine settings makes one go back to the nostalgic past. There is not much of site seeing involved. This is a place where one goes for lazy walks mile after mile through forest and hillocks and come back refreshed. Drinking the water of the wells make one hungry even a few hours after a sumptuous meal. You only sit back with your favorite book or with your family or with your friends and friend's friend and watch time go by.

Stay safe
There has been Naxalite Activity in the area. Please inform the nearest police station when visiting,
or if possible stay in Jhajha or Deoghar instead of Shimultala. Enjoy the day only, as electricity is a big problem there. So is transport: only trains can help you. Anyway, this is place where you can see the demolition economics; it is very painful to see the old locked factories.
