Hi @PaulPavlinovich this place is know as one of the tourst spots in Bankura district. There is small temple on the top of the hill, people use to come here for picnic and trek to the top to see the temple and enjoy the amazing view from the top.
Atart from that, this place is mostly known for rock climbing. High exposure of the rocks encourages the rock climbers. Every year during the winter season, from november to ferbruary, the registered organizations of West Bengal arrange basic rock climbing camps for training.

That is awesome @ayanghosh_22 I’m into abseiling (rappelling) down rocks - I’m too old and fat to climb them :).
Sounds like a great place with good activities and good views.

That is an awesome rappel @ayanghosh_22 - a nice challenging surface. Here is one of my favourites. Tallarook State Forest / Warrigul Rocks. It is about 35 metres so about the same as yours. You can take another jump from this point to go down another 70m but there is no easy way back up. From this ledge you can walk back to the top.
