Tura Peak is a majestic hill located in Tura, a town in the West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya, India. At an elevation of about 872 meters (approximately 2861 feet) above sea level, it is one of the most prominent landmarks in the region. The peak offers a panoramic view of the lower plains of Bangladesh and the surrounding hills. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, providing opportunities for trekking and nature walks amidst the lush vegetation and rich biodiversity. The hill is also a culturally significant site, with a peak reserve forest area that is considered sacred by the local Garo community. The history of Tura Peak is intertwined with the legends of the Garos.

nice view from an OK city
Tura is a nice enough place to stay, and the view from Tura Peak is lovely. Actually, the whole city is nice - it's just getting there that's tough!
