July 26, 2017 at 1:13 PMCan I plan to travel there in August ?

July 26, 2017 at 1:48 PMHi Pradip, I don’t think August would be a good time to visit this place. As you have to sail through the river, it can quite by risky during monsoon.

July 26, 2017 at 2:09 PMCan you suggest weekend destination (2-3 nights from Kolkata) in August time??

July 26, 2017 at 2:15 PMHi Pradip, There are lots, but it depends on your preferences. How about A Trip To Baranti & Garpanchkot?

July 26, 2017 at 5:34 PMI have already visited Garpanchakot , Can you suggest any other weekend destionation for August

July 26, 2017 at 8:33 PMHaha!! Frankly speaking, I’m more inclined towards hills and thus I haven’t covered much of South Bengal. So if you are looking for something beyond the common Digha, Mandarmoni, Bakkhali etc. then you may check Bangriposi or even Daringbadi in Odisha. Or if you have around 4 days, you can even plan Chitrakoot Falls in Chattisgarh.
If you are into historic places then how about Bishnupur and/or places around Birbhum & Bankura.
If you are looking for offbeat places, you may check Bawali or Duarsini, . I’m yet to explore the same too 🙂
