Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

Being a paradise in itself, it was important to introduce the undisturbed nature to the world. Writing about the obscure lands which boast the beauty of this state, is just a way of thanking the serene culture of Calcutta which runs in the roots.
If you are someone who delights in taking a deep look into the untouched beauty of nature, Kolkata gives you millions of reasons to be there and explore its nooks and crannies.
An arresting beauty surrounded by verdant hills and forests creates in itself, an ideal place for a day-out. Embracing the charm of the beautiful necklace like dam (second largest earth dam of India as well as Asia; 10.8 km freshwater dam) at the assemblage of river Kansabati and river Kumari; this undulating greenery is a picture perfect postcard. The gently lapping lake offers a grand view of the sunset. The lake also provides boating facilities to the visitors. Apart from the dam, there are many tourist joints nearby. Parasnath Hills (an important pilgrimage point), Banpukuria Deer Park (finding some rare species of bird) or visiting the relics of the ancient town of Ambikanagar (5km from Mukutmanipur) can be the highlights of one’s escape into serenity.
“A beach to yourself” is how one would describe Bakkhali. Close to Sunderbans, it is a halcyon getaway in itself. Away from the hustle bustle of the main city and located around 135 km from Calcutta, Bakkhali comes across as a treat to its visitors. It is lined with casuarinas and one can take advantage of a mystic sunset here.
Being one of the most secluded white sand beaches in India, Bakkhali boasts of a 7km long beach ending till Frasergunj.
The grandiosity of the Eastern Himalayas is a natural backdrop in West Bengal. A vast warp of dense forests combined with wildlife, infinite tea gardens, prattling rivers, is what describes Dooars. Derived from the word ‘Doors’ (Doors to Bhutan); this picturesque beauty stretches from river Teesta on the west to the river Sankosh on the east, an area encompassing 130km from Jalpaiguri district (600kms approximately from Calcutta). A drive through the Dooars plains, the gateway to Bhutan and the whole of Northeast India, can be the experience of a lifetime.
A prodigious small hamlet in the lap of Northern Bengal brings usher joy when visited after a strenuous schedule back in the city. An untouched rural corner, Samsing is located at a distance of 82 km from Siliguri (650 km from Calcutta). Inhabiting bright orange orchards, this sleepy village is coated with lush green tea gardens and dense forests. Civilization is an excluded word here, however, it sure is a delight for the nature lovers to embrace its uniqueness.
The pellucid Neora Valley is pioneered by rich flora and fauna resting in the Eastern Himalayas. What fascinates one is the existence of rare Red Panda, Himalayan Thar, The Royal Bengal Tiger and the Clouded leopards. For those nature freaks who have no qualms in spending time in the lap of nature, admiring its beauty, Neora Valley happens to be an exquisite place. Boasting a rich drive of flora as well, it gives a nice high, allowing the travellers to explore the hilly trails, on foot.
The mystifying waves and the natural beauty of the Tajpur beach, do woo the hearts of the beach lovers. Situated along the sea fringes, one can observe the dense forest of Tamarisk trees which highlight the crimson beaches. Differentiating itself from the regulars and entwining the adventure junkies is what defines Tajpur. One can merrily take advantage of the various activities like Zorbing, Kayaking, Paragliding, Rafting, et al.
For all those who do not want to visit the conventional Sunderbans in West Bengal, Piyali Islands come as a rescue retreat. A perfect amalgam of restfulness with Sunderbans is what describes this under penetrated getaway. A serene 75Km drive from Calcutta takes one this scenic beauty after crossing a bridge over the river Piyali which connects the island to the mainland. Since it is often named as Pseudo Sunderbans, therefore we can expect the vegetation, landscape and topography to be similar.
An unblemished introduction for the urban dwellers to the core roots of rural Bengal will put forth Taki as a prime getaway location. Located on the banks of River Ichamati (in Hasnabad), within a distance of 80 Km from Calcutta, Taki envelops the supreme definition of natural beauty. This particular village intrigues the travellers who long for a break from the fabricated humdrum of their daily life. A peaceful shelter at the Bagan-Bari can do wonders to the frazzled minds.
