2 Days in Muzaffarpur for a Nature Getaway

Muzaffarpur might be known for its lychees, but it's also a great spot for some quiet time with nature. I've spent many mornings here walking through lush orchards and watching birds by the riverside. It's not the typical tourist destination, which makes it perfect if you want to escape the crowds and enjoy simple, peaceful moments.
