Rangdokram A'bri :
This small hillock on the edge of the Balpakram cliff is called Rangdokram A'bri or the hill where the gongs are played. It is believed that, when a new spirit comes to Balpakram, musical instruments like the gongs, flutes, drums and cymbals are played in this hillock to call all the spirits to welcome the newcomer to Balpakram. Gongs are also sounded to call for a meeting at the nearby Me'mang Melaram or the meeting place of the spirits. Villagers walking past this hillock claimed to have heard faint sounds of musical instruments and sounds of human voices murmuring near this hillock.
Chitmang Peak :
Chitmang Peak is the 2nd highest peak in Garo Hills. It is about 1029 meters above sea level. Chitmang Peak is also known as Waimong by the local Atong tribes and the Hindus call it Kailash Pahar. The Chitmang Peak changes it's shape depending from where you are looking at it. If you are looking from Sibbari or Rewak / Karukol side, it will look like a dome. If you look from Rongara side it will look like a sleeping giant. If you look from Balpakram plateau it will look like a rectangular box (See above). If you are lucky, you can see waterfalls on the foothills of Chitmang peak during rainy season.
