Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 238 reviews
KOHIMA WAR CEMETERY lies on the battle ground of Garrison Hill. No trace remains of the bungalow, which was destroyed in the fighting, but white concrete lines mark and preserve permanently the historic tennis court. The cemetery now contains 1,420 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. At the highest point in the cemetery stands the KOHIMA CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating 917 Hindu and Sikh soldiers whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith.

This memorial holds an important position in the history of North-East India. Very touching to see that many of the soldiers who lost their lives in the battles in the region are very young, often in their twenties.
3. Grave of Barog

Reviewed By SandeepSaha1967 - New Delhi, India
A British era railway station for the metre gauge trains on the Kalka-Shimla route, complete with a ghost tunnel, station building of colonial architecture, food stalls typical of small places, railway managed refreshment and rest rooms. One needs to treck down a good 20 minutes from the highway if you're not on the train and likewise for leaving it. But it's well worth it. When the train trundles in out of the darkness of the tunnel, the station suddenly loses its calm poise and there's a hurly-burly of activities. A ring (an old tradition), newspapers and other papers are thrown on the platform by the railway staff. You can chat with the station master, guard, driver and official on the train. The stop is long enough for photo opps, before it chugs out.

It's a beautiful place. It is the tomb of Adil Shah. Complex has a beautiful pond for ablution and a beautiful mosque. Well preserved. Shoes can't be worn at this place, hence avoid going in hot sun as the floor is too hot. Tickets can be booked online. We booked ours on bookmyshow app. It was a pleasant experience.

I’ve written reviews before and I keep going back because it’s my fathers final resting place. However, today’s visit was quite different. I was asked to look for a particular war grave of a braveheart who succumbed to yellow fever many moons ago. The war grave section is history itself. When you see the young age at which most of these brave young people were snatched away, it gives one a completely different perspective. Beautiful to visit on a Calcutta winter morning and connect within.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 73 reviews
KIRKEE WAR CEMETERY was created to receive Second World War graves from the western and central parts of India where their permanent maintenance could not be assured. The cemetery contains 1,668 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. There are also 629 First World War servicemen buried in the cemetery in unmarked graves in the grassed area between the Memorial and the Cross of Sacrifice, and who's names are recorded on the KIRKEE MEMORIAL. The KIRKEE MEMORIAL stands within the cemetery and commemorates more than 1,800 servicemen who died in India during the First World War, who are buried in civil and cantonment cemeteries in India and Pakistan where their graves can no longer be properly maintained. This total includes the names of 167 servicemen buried in Deolali Government Cemetery whose graves are currently being reinstated by the Commission, and 629 servicemen mentioned above whose remains were brought from Bombay (Sewri) Cemetery for re-interment here in 1962. On the same memorial are commemorated almost 200 East and West African servicemen who died in non-operational zones in India in the Second World War, and whose graves either cannot be located or are so situated that maintenance is not possible.

I was in Pune for three days and had plans to see a bit of the city of Chatrapati Shivaji and the Marathas. As chance would have it I had to leave it hurriedly for urgent work. I thought I will not be able to see even one place in it. As it happened, on the way to the Airport I happened to see the Cemetery from my vehicle and I stopped for a few minutes. What I saw was another beautifully done cemetery by the Commonwealth Graves Commission. I had earlier seen beautifully done cemeteries at Kohima, Imphal and Guwahati. This cemetery commemorates more than 1,600 Commonwealth fallen soldiers and a tribute to them. I could take some photographs. I wish I had time to explore it better. Maybe next time.
