Have you ever dreamt of escaping the unhealthy polluted air and the noise associated with life in large cities? Just picture yourself making coffee early morning and hearing birds singing, being surrounded by beautiful fresh green trees and Hills filled with mist. Sounds dreamy, right? So, now let me tell you about one of the best places I think is the Bhalu dungri Eco stay at Purulia which is one of the best places for relaxation and rejuvenation.
"Wait, where is Purulia?"
Good question! Purulia is a district located in the western part of West Bengal with heavy dominance of hills and forests and vigorous tribal influence and therefore associated with lots of interest and importance. It is approximately a 5-6 hours drive from Kolkata which you can very well visit as a weekend destination. Now, let’s list all those simple things that make Bhalu Dungri Eco Stay stand out.
A Cozy Stay Amidst Nature
You can picture sleeping in environmentally friendly cottages that will fit in the environment so well. The rooms I found were very basic but very cozy and provided you with something like a home away from home. "What about food?" Don’t worry! The offers home-cooked tasty meals made from fresh locally available crops and other food produce. I assure you that the flavors that are used will make you think of your grandma’s kitchen.
"So, what can I do there?"
Plenty! For the lovers of nature walks, you will find forest trails around for exploring if you are interested in that. You can also go up the low hills to have great views. "I’m not much into trekking. Is there something else?" Absolutely! Just walk around the garden, read a book, or just enjoy fire barbecues which they can have in the evening in the compound to admire the stars at night.
Connect with Tribal Culture
The other interesting feature of staying here is that you get to learn about the tribal culture of Purulia. "What does that mean?" You may see traditional Chhau dance shows, socialize with the inhabitants, and garner some information about their arts and crafts. It’s like making a transition to a whole new environment that is in a way basic but rather compelling.
The Best Time to Visit
It makes prodromal wondering when to plan your trip. But the best time is winter which starts from October to March. The climate is also good, and everything—people and the environment spotlessly clean. Sometimes it can be hot during the summer but because it’s surrounded by trees it’s definitely not as hot.
"How do I get there?"
If you arrive from Kolkata, there is a way to travel by car and by using the train to Purulia Station. From there it is only a short drive to Bhalu Dungri. "And what about parking?" Oh don’t worry – they have plenty of parking available.
Ideal for group travelers, couples, and individuals
Thus, it does not matter if the vacationer is a couple, a family, or even an individual this place interests all. But does that mean that it is okay to travel alone?” Absolutely! Most staff are friendly and always willing to assist.
Final Thoughts
If you want to escape the noisy world and have some quiet time then Bhalu Dungri Eco Stay in Purulia is a must-visit. Stay is not just a concept; it’s an experience of embracing nature and our culture at large. Therefore, do not hesitate and go for it!
