Vidur Kuti is about 58 km from Kadarpur Nanu. Vidur spent his rest of life after dispute with Duryodhan. This is the place where Lord Krishana visited. Kanva Ashram is an ashram in a broken condition near Rawli town according to the legend "Abhigyan Shakuntalam". Hastinapur's King Dushyant reached there while hunting and fell in love with Shakuntala at first sight. During Mahabharat when the battle between Kauravas and Pandavas was about to begin, then on the request of both the sides, all wives and children were to be guardianed by Mahatma Vidur. He had insufficient space for them so he found an area for ladies and children, which is now known as Daranagar.

Ganj is 52 km from Kadarpur Nanu and 12 km from the District HQ and 1 km from Daranagar on the banks of the Ganges. There are ancient temples and ashrams.
