Santragachi Jheel

Located about 10 km away from the city, just beside the Santragachi railway station is the city’s hotspot for migratory birds in winter. The sanctuary sees a lot of birds during November to February, such as, the Fulvous whistling duck, Swinhoe’s Snipe, Northern Pintail, Gadwall, Lesser whistling teal, Comb duck, Baikal teal, etc. The pristine waters and cool atmosphere make it an ideal habitat for migratory birds.
