What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Talpona Bridge for its breathtaking river and sunset views, making it an excellent spot for photography. Its location on the new NH 66 bypass offers convenience and reduced travel time. However, some note the lack of dedicated safe pull-over areas for stopping to admire the scenery.
"An absolute gem along NH 66, the Talpona Bridge is a newly constructed leg of the highway that provides breathtaking views of the river and sunset. It provides panoramic views of the riverside and surrounding landscapes during the day time as the bridge's vantage point is unparalleled. Because the traffic is low in this part of the area and the bridge is still new, there's plenty of scope to stop your bike or car and take as many pictures as you want."

"Good bridge, nice view from bridge of oceans being on both sides
You can definitely stop by take some pictures as the bridge is quite wide and wont create problems.
Also mountain view from behind is great"
