Due to the scorching heat in Uttar Pradesh, it is becoming difficult for people to leave the house. People seek shade to avoid strong sunlight and scorching roads. But do you know that there is also a historical road in Aligarh, UP, which is known as “cold road”? This road is famous for its cold environment and dense greenery. Since the British era, this place has been popular as “cold road”, where people used to come to visit in the evening along with family.
Where is the cold road located? The cold road is located in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh. It is close to Naqvi Park in the Civil Line Police Station area, exactly near Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
How did the cold road be named? About 600 meters long, there are dense, big shady trees on both sides of this road. These trees are so dense that their branches appear to be meeting each other from both sides of the road. Due to this dense greenery, there is always coolness on the road. This is the reason why it is called “cold road”.
People passing through here during the summer season are unable to stop themselves from enjoying the cold shade of trees and enjoying the natural wind. On one side of the road, Naqvi Park is located, on the other side there is a green complex of AMU, which makes the atmosphere here even more pleasant.
Amazing confluence of historical and natural beauty There are more than one hundred and fifty dense trees and plants on both sides of the cold road. Even in the scorching heat, those walking on this road get relief. This road is located right in front of the District Magistrate’s Office and goes to the AMU Circle. This confluence of natural beauty and history attracts people and provides relief in the summer season.
