  • Sholinghur is a good place to live, though the climate is too harsh often. Apart from temples, the surrounding area is an excellent place to explore. If you are really adventurous you can even go for trekking-like venture to the surrounding hills. They are really good to see. I remember the lake used to overflow but finding water in the lake these days is next to impossible. Still the town of Sholinghur is lush and green.
