Duarsini

Duarsini, located close to Bardhaman on the foothills of Purulia district, is ideal for those who love isolation. You can sit endlessly watching the Satsurang River flow surrounded by a forest full of shal, shimul, piyal and palash trees. The real attraction here are the tribal villages where you can get to study about the unique cultures and traditions of Saonthal, Munda, Shabaradh and Kheriya communities. The jungle here is home to many wild animals like bear, wild boar, elephants, hyena and wolf. The distance from Kolkata is 178 km, approximately a 7-hour drive by road. The closest railway stations to Duarsini are Purulia and Ghatsila.
