Trip to Jhargram, Belpahari, Kankrajhor

Jhargram Zoo

After a long Covid-induced break, we finally decided to venture out again. We wanted to start nearby, and made our arrangements for a tour to Jhargram, Belpahari and Kankrajhor. As planned, we reached the Howrah station at the dawn of March 4, 2022, exactly 2 years after our last train journey from Hampi / Badami to Hyderabad. Our train, Ispat Express, started from Howrah at 6.35 AM and took 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach Jhargram.

Our itinerary :

  • Morning of Day 1 : Jhargram Rajbari/ Palace, Sabitri Temple and Tribal museum
  • Afternoon of Day 1 : Chilkigarh Rajbari, Kanak Durga Temple and Dulung River
  • 2nd Day : Belpahari and Kankrajhor, which included the spots – Ghagra Waterfall, Tarafeni Dam, Khandarani Lake, Gadrasini Hill, Dhangi Kusum village, Ketki Lake
  • 3rd Day : Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon

Day 1 morning: Jhargram Rajbari, Sabitri Temple and Tribal museum

We had made our booking for the next 2 days at the Jhargram Rajbari Tourist Complex . Once we came out of the railway station, we hired a Toto and reached within 15 minutes. Although the scheduled check-in time was 12 PM, we were lucky to check-in early.

Our first destination – the Jhargram Rajbari (Palace), was just across the entrance of the Tourist Complex. One part of the Rajbari has itself been converted to a heritage hotel.

The entry to the Raj Palace is not open to all the outside visitors. Only guests staying in Rajbari Tourist Complex can buy tickets for Rs. 15 and enter the premises. Then also, they have to confine their movement within the exterior garden area (and not allowed to enter the andar-mahal , or the inner parts of the palace). The palace buildings are quite well maintained and it is the perfect spot for photo enthusiasts.

Jhargram Rajbari

We roamed around the palace gardens for some time and then headed to the Sabitri Temple , a short walk away. It was the royal temple of the erstwhile royals of Jhargram, and till this day the locals worship goddess Durga here in a grand manner.

 Next we hired a Toto and went to the Tribal Interpretation Centre . It is located inside a Sal forest. The museum exhibits the artefacts used by the local tribes of Jungalmahal and also depicts stories of their everyday life, rituals and the oppression they faced in the past. Outside the entrance are life-size figures of tribal men and women dancing. The outside walls of the museum are also decorated beautifully by paintings depicting the tribal life and culture. The museum remain closed on Mondays. On the other days, the timing is 11 AM – 5 PM.

The Forest Department (WBFDC) has built a few cottages next door, where tourists can make booking for their stay. It would surely be a unique experience to spend a night among these huge Sal trees, with nothing but the chirping of crickets.

Exhibits of Tribal museum

The Toto was waiting for us, and we came to the town-centre and had lunch at the Annapurna Restaurant . The food here was tasty and price very reasonable.

Day 1 afternoon: Chilkigarh Rajbari, Kanak Durga temple, Dulung River

Many tourists prefer a Toto ride to Chilkigarh, situated at a distance of around 15 KM, due to the cost advantage. But we thought that this Toto ride can be a torture to our backs, and decided to hire a car instead.

Surajit picked us from outside the restaurant and we reached Chilkigarh Rajbari around 2.30 PM. The buildings of the palace and temples have not at-all been maintained and they are in a dilapidated state. One of the buildings has now been converted into a Government office.

Remnants of Chilkigarh Rajbari

Next we moved to the Kanak Durga Mandir . From the car parking, we had to walk through a forest trail, fenced on both sides, to reach the temple. A new temple has now been constructed beside the old one, which is now in shambles. One can offer prayers in the temple only in the morning, so it was closed when we reached there. Also, beware of monkeys here.

Kanak Durga Mandir

By the side of the old temple, there is another trail that leads to the tranquil Dulung River . It was a hot sunny day, but the cool breeze here induced fresh energy. We spent some time sitting under a tree and rejuvenated ourselves.

Approaching the Dulung River

There are a couple of more trails to different parts of the river, out of which we explored another one and then started back for Jhargram.

Day 2 : Belpahari and Kankrajhor trip

An average tourist visits only the 4 spots in this region – Ghagra Waterfalls, Tarafeni Dam, Khandarani Lake and Gadrasini Hill. But we had planned for a few more and wanted to travel till Kankrajhor. So we started early, around 8.30 AM. The ride through the State Highway was very smooth and it took us around 1 hour to reach Belpahari’s Indira Chowk.

Our first stop was at the Ghagra Waterfall . It has a picturesque landscape, where a small stream of water flows along a rocky surface. It is much more beautiful during the monsoon when the stream is in its full might. We climbed up the boulders and clicked some nice photos against the backdrop of the rocks.

Ghagra Waterfalls

A short drive from Ghagra took us to the serene Tarafeni River Barrage . The dam serves as the source of water for the neighbouring villages. We spent some time here, before going back towards Indira Chowk.

Tarafeni Dam

Once on the State Highway, we headed towards the Khandarani Lake . The last few minutes of the ride was a bit bumpy through the village roads. The placid water of the vast lake, bordered by forests on both sides, made us spellbound. We took a stroll along the path bordering the lake and sat down on the banks as time flew by. During the winter months, you can even spot many species of migratory birds here.

Khandarani Lake

Our last stop before lunch was Gadrasini Hill . It has a steep trek and should be avoided by elderly and persons with ailments with knees and legs. The first part of the climb is over loose stones and gravels. We had to be very much cautious so that we don’t slip and fall. After about 10 minutes of trek we came to the Basudev temple, where we took rest under the cool shade. After that, it was another 20 minutes of journey, but this time the rocks were steeper and bigger.

At the top of the hill is another temple – this time of Lord Shiva. I was expecting a spectacular view from the top, but it was nothing extraordinary. There was no 360 degree view also, partly due to the obstruction by the trees and partly due to the temple. So I would suggest that you can skip climbing the hill if you are not very interested in hiking and trekking. The entry to the hill is permitted till 4 PM.

Going up the slopes of Gadrasini Hill

There are a couple of eateries near the base of Gadrasini Hill. One of them is the Pabitra Homestay (Contact: 81165-77330). Here the food is made-to-order and so you need to call them in advance to place your order for lunch. Many tourists go back to Belpahari Indira Chowk for lunch, but that would be wastage of time if you are planning to explore further till Kankrajhor.

After a simple lunch consisting of rice, pulses, fried potato, vegetables and egg curry, we headed for the Dhangi Kusum village. On the way, we saw villagers making ropes from Babui grass .

Near the car parking of the Dhangi Kusum village , we saw local villagers creating crafts out of stones. The price was also reasonable and we purchased a few. The attraction here is the Hudhudi Falls , which is a short walk through a rocky terrain with jungle on both sides. But the waterfall was a disappointment, as it was just a very narrow stream of water flowing over the rocks.

Dhangi Kusum village

The Ketki Lake , a short drive away, is not a very popular destination and we were the only visitors there. But I was mesmerized by the tranquility of the place. You can spend hours here, gazing at the calm and still blue water, with lush greenery on its banks.

Ketki Lake

The landscape gradually started changing as we moved towards Kankrajhor . This road, along the border of West Bengal and Jharkhand, is undulating with small hillocks at a distance on the left and a forest on the right. From where we parked our car in Kankrajhor, we could see the burnt remnants of the forest bungalow, which bears testimony of the bloody Maoist uprising in Bengal.

That was our last stop of the day, and it was time to go back. From Kankrajhor, there are 2 routes to go back to Belpahari/ Jhargram. One is the road that we have mostly taken from Belpahari. The other one is via Chakadoba , where the road meets the State Highway. This second route is longer by around 12 KM, but we chose it due to its own natural beauty. Especially the undulating and zig-zag road till Chakadoba, with tall trees on both sides, was really fascinating.

Road from Kankrajhor to Chakadoba

Day 3 : Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon

Today was our last day in Jhargram, and the train to Kolkata was in the afternoon at 3.25 PM. So we had plans to visit the Zoo and Khowabgaon in the morning. We hired a Toto for this short trip.

The first stop was at the Zoo, located on the other side of the railway tracks. This is actually a miniature version of the zoological gardens that you would have visited in larger cities. The biggest enclosure was that of deer, due to which the zoo is popularly known as “Deer Park” among the localites. Our kids enjoyed a lot feeding leaves to the deer, and got excited to see the leopards, hyenas and jackals roaming around.

The zoo has a dense population of Sal trees, and their shade was a nice relief from the hot weather outside. We spent some time lazing around. The road outside the zoo, with the Sal trees dotted on both sides is a perfect place for clicking a portrait.

The Zoo is open on all days, except on Thursdays. Timings are 9 AM – 5 PM (November – February) / 9 AM – 6 PM (March – October).

Jhargram Zoo

The last spot of our trip was Khowabgaon (The village of dreams – Khowab means dream, and gaon is village). The original name of the village is Lalbazar , a small dwelling of 13 families of the Lodha tribe.

May be the best was kept aside for the end of our journey. First of all, the journey to the village itself was mind blowing, with the path flanked by Cashew trees, and a dense forest of towering Sonajhuri, Eucalyptus trees on both sides.

In Khowabgaon , every mud-house is an open canvas. The villagers have been inspired and trained by Kolkata-based Chalchitra Academy and its founder Mrinal Mandal. They painted their walls to depict their everyday life – wedding rituals, social ceremonies, children playing, women cooking, cattle grazing and many more. One of the walls depicted film-maker Satyajit Ray shooting for his epic Pather Panchali .

The villagers apply fresh mud on their huts every year during Kali Puja. After that, they decorate and paint the walls afresh. So, if you are planning to visit Jhargram, please avoid the time of Kali Puja, as the place would become lifeless that time.

Khowabgaon

Although there is an instruction for visitors to pay Rs. 500 for photography, it is not a stringent rule. You would first be guided to the village office, where the office bearer would request you to donate as per your wish. The money is used to buy the painting material and also for maintaining the village. The villagers have also setup a shop where they sell paintings and handicrafts.

From Khowabgaon, we came back to the Tourist Complex, where we had kept our luggage. We had lunch there and then headed to the railway station for our return journey.

Useful Information and Tips :

Best time to visit jhargram:.

It is better to avoid Jhargram during summer, as it gets very hot. Winter is a good time to visit, but the landscape can get barren with the trees shedding their leaves. Monsoon should be the better time, with the lush green vegetation everywhere around. Also, the rains boost the might of the waterfalls and rivers, which become more alluring that time.

Details of the Car and Toto:

We travelled with Surajit (+91- 91630-46202) in his Swift Dzire car. For the trip to Chilkigarh Rajbari and Kanak Durga Mandir, he charged us Rs. 1000. And the cost of the Belpahari-Kankrajhor trip was Rs. 3000.

For our trip to Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon, we travelled in Rabi Mukherjee’s (+91- 99325-41004) Toto, for which we paid him Rs. 400. For other local travel (like Tribal Interpretation Centre, Railway station etc.), we availed the Toto service of Anjan (+91-90643-71058), and his rates were also very much reasonable.

All of them were decent and well mannered, and I would surely recommend them.

Review of Jhargram Rajbari Tourist Complex :

West Bengal Tourist Development Corporation (WBTDC) has developed this tourist complex, and it consists of two halves (on either side of the road) – the Main complex and the Annex part. The Main complex houses the Reception, the Dining Hall, and a few cottages and rooms. The cottages encircle a nicely maintained pond. The sprawling complex also contains nicely manicured gardens, children’s play area and an enclosure for turkey, goose and duck.

The Annex part also has a few cottages built around a pond. But this part is open to outsiders. The pond here is used by locals for bathing and washing purposes and the play area used by local children.

We stayed in a cottage in the Main complex, which had cost us Rs. 3000 (plus GST). The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast (Poori-sabzi or bread-omelette) was complementary. The food in general was tasty, although the price was on a higher side.

You can book the rooms online from the website of WBTDCL: https://wbtdcl.wbtourismgov.in/home

Belpahari is a village located in Medinipur in the state of West-Bengal. It is surrounded nearby by many villages namely Banspahari, Ergoda, Kanko and a few more. The Ghagra Waterfalls, Tarafeni River Dam, dense forest and the city around are the major attractions to this place.

History of Jhargram Royals

Jhargram Palace Gate

The kingdom came into being during the later part of the 16th century when Raja Man Singh of Amer was appointed the Dewan of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa by Mughal Emeror Akbar the Great. Legend says that around 1592 CE, Man Singh had come to conquer Bengal on behest of the Mughals from Rajasthan. He appointed one of his loyal Generals in the army, Shri Sarveshwar Singh, to defeat the local rulers of the region known as Jungle Mahal.

The area belonged to the Mal kings, who were ancient warriors and a powerful dynasty in the eastern part of India since the time of the Mauryas and the Guptas. In order to commemorate this victory he adopted the surname, Malla Dev which became part of the name and style of his descendants. Hence as a royal tradition every year an idol of Mal Raja is made and slain on the day of Vijayadashami. Jhargram Rajbari is a blend of grand history and fascinating scenic beauty which has been enthraling the tourist for long time.

Savitri Mandir

Savitri Mandir

The 350-year-old Savitri mandir is possibly the oldest structure in Jhargram. Legend has it that Savitri Devi inspired Rajput warrior Sarveshwar Singh to remain back at Junglekhand. The idol of the Savitri Devi is being worshipped since then.

Goddess Sabitri is the ancestral deity of the Malla Deb dynasty of Jhargram, she is worshipped in form of Durga. There is no specific idol kept in the Savitri Mandir but a stone believed to have divine embodiment of Goddess is worshipped here. There are many fables and myths regarding Goddess Sabitri and the temple among the local people.

Goddess is worshipped in Savitri Mandir strictly according to Puranas the ancient Hindu religious texts during the Durga Puja as Brahmins recite hymns from the scriptures from the Devi Mahatmyam from Mahalaya to Dashami followed by the Maha Aarti on Durga Ashtami the eighth day of this orthodox worship and the Ritual Dhakis carry large Dhaks to show off their skills. The rituals of the Durga Puja are still organized and performed in Savitri Mandir by the Royal Family of Jhargram.

Junglemahal Zoological Park

Junglemahal Zoological Park

Junglemahal Zoological Park earlier known as Jhargram Zoo has been established as a Deer Park in the year 1980, within Khasjungle i.e. natural forest Dhabani Beat of Jhargram. Subsequently, it was recognised as Jhargram Zoo with the objectives of scientific management, conservation of endangered species and also to develop empathy amongst the citizen of the area towards wildlife conservation. This is a must visit place while travelling Jhargram. We found all the animals healthy and playful.

Kanak Durga Mandir

Kanak Durga

Kanak Durga temple is located in the Jamboni area of Jhargram. Once it used to be known as “Gateway to Bengal” due to its location at the border area between Jharkhand and West Bengal.

We found there is an old abandoned temple few meters from the new temple. Actually the old was temple was damaged badly, may be, by subsiding of soil or by thunder. The new larger temple was built. Devi Kanak Durga is a symbol of Energy and Power. Idol in the new temple is made of Kanak (gold).

History narrates that Devi Durga came in dream of king Gopinath and ordered him to build the temple. It is thought that king Kamalkanta planned to shift of the temple but Devi came in his dream and ordered not to shift. Idol was there in that old temple for centuries.

Another folk lore said, after a long drought at Chilikigarh, there was a sudden deluge in area that saved the region from further prolonged draught. But deluge did not harm local population. Hence local people felt that Devi Mahamaya saved them. Later local people erected the new temple near the same in temple ground.

Ghagra Falls and Tarafeni River

Ghagra Falls

Tarafeni and Ghagra waterfall, Tarafeni Barrage under Belpahari Gram Panchayat is definitely an attractive place where public get enthralled at the sight of atractive nature and of the river currents against the rocky boulders, during rainy season. It is at a distance of nearly 5 km from Belpahari. It is the place where the guest stare on the meandering currents of the river criss-crossing the zig-zag paths.

This small barrage is definitely an vital provide of providing drinking water to thousands of the people in the area. Tarafeni river receives its share of water mainly from Mukutmonipur Dam. Its beauty becomes all the more amazing when the Barrage releases water by way of the channels and the dancing and leaping currents of water. Ghagra situated at a distance of 8 km from Belpahari.

The gurgling streams of Ghagra lashing against the craggy rocks gives visitors an opportunity of uncommon glimpse of nature. Ghagra, a small waterfall attracts the visitors for its unnatural splendour and spectacular flow of unfettered water currents. This really is the place where once the shooting of the Bengali film “Behula Lakhindar”. During rainy season the Ghagra becomes most beautiful.

Chilkigarh Rajbari

Chilkigarh Rajbari

History of Chilkigarh Rajbari goes like, king Jagatdeo from Suryavansh dynasty hailed from Madhya Pradesh assumed name King Dhawaldeb after defeating Chilkighar’s king Dhalraj. He later assumed another name “Jagannathdeb Dhawaldeb”.

King Gopinath was a popular king in Jangle (Jamboni) at that time. He got her only daughter married to Jagannathdeb Dhawaldeb. After this marriage, relationship between Junglemahal and Dhalbhum become stronger. It was a golden age of Jamboni. History narrated that Devi Durga came in dream of king Gopinath and ordered him to build the (old) temple.

Way back in 13th century, Jagannath Dhawaldev invaded Jungle Mahal. During those days, Maratha dacoits called ‘Borgi’ used to often attack this part of Bengal. To prevent their invasion, Dhabaldeb constructed his fortress on the other side of Dulung River inside the forest so that his private residence is protected by the water stream. The Chilkigarh Rajbari is now in a dilapidated state. It consists of two floors and a huge grounds which has two temples in it. But the utter lack of maintenance was appalling, given the historical importance of the Chilkigarh Rajbari and its strategic location.

This stunning waterfall is located in the serene and lush green forests of Belpahari, offering a mesmerizing view to its visitors. In this article, we will delve deeper into what makes the Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour a must-visit destination for any traveler.

Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour Jhargram Bengal Tourism

Location and Accessibility

Dhangikusum Falls is located in the Belpahari block of Jhargram district, which is approximately 80 km from the city of Midnapore. The nearest railway station is Jhargram, which is well-connected to other major cities of West Bengal like Kolkata and Howrah.

From the railway station, you can easily hire a taxi or take a local bus to reach the Dhangi Kusum Waterfalls.

Natural Beauty

The Dhangikusum Falls is a natural wonder that cascades down from a height of 20 feet, surrounded by the dense forests of Belpahari. The waterfall is located in the middle of the forest, and the sound of the gushing water against the rocks can be heard from a distance.

The natural beauty of the place is enhanced by the lush green vegetation surrounding the waterfall, and the clear and cool water is perfect for a refreshing swim.

Trekking and Adventure Activities

Apart from its natural beauty, the Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour also offers a range of adventure activities that are perfect for thrill-seekers.

Trekking is one of the most popular activities in the area, and visitors can explore the dense forest surrounding the waterfall to catch a glimpse of the bizarre wildlife and rare species of flora and fauna.

Local Cuisine and Culture

The Belpahari region is home to the indigenous people of West Bengal, who have their unique culture and cuisine. The area is famous for its tribal food, which is a mix of local ingredients and spices that create a unique taste.

Visitors can try out the local delicacies and immerse themselves in the tribal culture by visiting the nearby villages.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour is during the monsoon season, from July to September, when the waterfall is in full flow. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, it’s best to visit during the off-season, from October to April, when the weather is pleasant, and the area is less crowded.

The last September, Dhangikusum, an obscure hill village in the Jhargram district, suddenly made headlines. The importance of Dhangikusum increased after the state police DG Birendra himself visited the place.

The DG himself was impressed to see the Dhangikusum waterfall along the border of Bengal and Jharkhand. Since then, a number of tourists have come to Dhangikusum.

The hills and springs of the Dhangikusum near the Jharkhand border are like a canvas. Once upon a time, there was a Maoist camp. Now that is the new destination for tourists. To reach the Dhangikusum waterfall in the Belpahari block, adventure tourists have to climb up and down the rocks in the jungle.

Anyone will get lost in the jungle in the sound of spring water and birdsong. In the afternoon, Dhangikusum became like the magic of the setting sun in the lap of the mountains. A few years ago, electricity and drinking water reached the remote area along with the road.

Now tourists can easily reach there. Now civic volunteers have been deployed there for tourists. Just as they are guiding tourists, they are also asking where the newcomers are coming from. The civic volunteers are also writing the number of vehicles.

The Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour is a hidden gem that is waiting to be explored. It offers an excellent opportunity for travelers to experience the natural beauty, adventure, and culture of West Bengal. With its lush green forests, a stunning waterfall, and exciting adventure activities, this destination is a must-visit for anyone who loves to explore off-beat places. So, plan your trip to Dhangikusum Falls Belpahari Tour today and experience the best of West Bengal!

Ketki lake

A daytrip from Kolkata: Exploring Belpahari

“Dulung river is just by the temple, take that path,” says our driver as we trudge along a dirt road lined by old growth trees on both sides. We are on an impromptu daytrip to Belpahari, an area in the Jhargram district of West Bengal in India. The region is endowed with acres of forests, gentle hills, lakes, and waterfalls. Belpahari was the nerve-centre of Maoist guerrilla fighters for a long time. Lately peace has been restored.

Ecologically, Belpahari is a part of Chotanagpur Plateau region. It is sparsely populated and agriculture is the mainstay here. Inhabitants here often face water crises. At one point, the people here, who are largely dependent on the forest produce, started exploiting the forest so much that it became unsustainable. Now as peace is restored, I hear villages are rewarded for protecting the forest.

We take the Ispat Express from Howrah Station at 6.55 AM and reach Jhargram station at around 9.30 AM. A few taxis stand there waiting for customers like us, people who are in Jhargram for a daytrip. After negotiation we hire one Bhajahari Mahato. Time and again he assures us that he is from the region and knows the place like the back of his hands. After a breakfast of petai parotta and alu torkari from an eatery near the station, we bundle into his car and the trip begins. During the tour, we learn that he indeed is very capable.

Things to do in Belpahari

Kanakdurga temple.

Half an hour drive later, Bhajahari drops us off at the entrance of the Kanakdurga temple. It is a temple founded by King Gopinath some 500 years ago. It is situated on a hillock by the Dulung river. According to legends, at some point in time, human sacrifice was in vogue here and sacrificial blood dripping into the river was celebrated. Horrifying and grisly.

We walk on the cemented road surrounded by bottle green foliage. The canopy of the forest makes the road dark. Beyond the boundary of the temple premise, it truly is wild. A few monkeys lounge on the branches of the trees near the temple. The current Kanakdurga temple is new. The semi dilapidated old temple stands in the same premise. The visible cracks in the temple makes it very photogenic.

We hike a little distance down the slope to reach the Dulung river. The river is calm with little water but it is a sight to behold. The shore is hemmed by vegetation. There are very few tourists here so that is the best part about the experience, I guess. Later we learn that the Dulung river becomes quite fierce in the monsoon. Some riverbanks are flashflood-prone.

kanakdurga temple jhargram

Chilkigarh Rajbari

Seated in our car we roll into the large, green premise of Chilkigarh Rajbari. It is a palace that is still in use by the descendants of the king. Going inside the building is not allowed but tourists are allowed to saunter in its lawn. The palace is not in an impressive condition and Bhajahari adds, “the prince of this palace hangs out with me in the same tea shop, his financial condition is not good. There is a rumour his ancestors had wasted a lot of money in alcohol.”

The presence of a lone coconut tree and a well in the lawn enhances the optics of this palace. Near the entrance there is a temple but it is locked. It also seems to be the playground for troops of monkeys. To be on the safer side it is advisable not to carry food items in hand.

chilkigarh rajbari - palace in west bengal

After a long drive of 52 kilometres through forests of sal and mahua, we reach Kakrajhor. This is the place where the cult Bengali movie “Charmurti” was shot. It is laced by deep forests and Adivasi(santhal) villages. There is an army outpost and a “Charmurti” guest house. It is silent most of the times, unless the inhabitants of the villages start playing the madol , a type of drum that is also called tumdak. The instrument is played during special occasions within the community. There are many trails around Kakrajhor for trekkers.

We set off from Kakrajhor Charmurti point and reach this lake in a few minutes. Ketki lake is a very beautiful lake and is quite large. The lake and the ecology around it look so Himalayan to me! Small rolling mounds with green grasses encircle the lake. Beyond the grassland is deep forest. We spot butterflies and ladybirds lounging on the grass. There is pin drop silence and hardly any visitors.

Dhangikusum Falls

Once done with Ketki lake, we cross santhal villages and forests yet again. Pink, white, yellow, and red bougainvillea beautify the yards of village homes. Most of the houses, slate-roofed and asbestos-roofed, are constructed of mud. The residents hang earthen pots from their exterior walls so that pigeons can stay there.

On a plateau, we get out of the car. Towards our right is a slope strewn with rocks and boulders that leads to a waterfall. The path has uphill and downhill trajectories through the deep forest, however, some parts of it are insanely beautiful and isolated. A few temporary shacks sell handicraft items—things made from stones hand-quarried from these rocks and boulders.

There are puja items like utensils for worship rituals. Also, there are baskets, mats, coasters, and several other home utility things made of cane and jute. If you have financial capability, please consider buying some items without bargaining. Belpahari has suffered long enough. The population here has faced violence, hunger, and abject poverty. The literacy rate is very low, your INR 100 will go a long way here. In this stretch you will come across groups of kids who might ask you for money.

The hike ends at a waterfall point. In winter the waterfall and the waterbody itself is not impressive but the route to the waterfall, the hike, is worth it.

Lunch break

Since Belpahari is not a mainstream tourist place rather a forested rural area, restaurants are almost non-existent. Eateries serve ‘thali’ or a full meal of rice, daal, vegetable, a fried item, a non-vegetarian item, and mango/tomato chutney (unlike in rest of India, in Bengal region chutneys are sweet and is considered a dessert). However, the system is that you must call and place your order in advance so that they can cook and keep aside your food.

Our driver had already placed our order in the morning at an eatery he knows. We arrive there very late almost at 3 PM. The waiter serves the food on a sal leaf. I am overjoyed. It brings back childhood memories. Before plastic, thermocol and paper plates came into the market, sal leaves were a staple on which food was served in gatherings and occasions in Bengal. The taste of the food here is not that great but given the remoteness of the region it is best not to keep high expectations.

For some odd reason the ‘dishi murgi’(country chicken) looks like mutton, it is reddish in colour instead of white! The chicken might be GI tagged kadaknath chicken, but alas I do not ask.

Gadrasini Hills

It is almost 4PM and dusk has started to descend in the valley. The awning of branches and leaves blocking the sky only makes it darker. Our car rolls on the dirt road here. Visitors need to hike up to reach the hill top. From there the view of the jungle is mesmerizing. It is also a bird lover’s paradise.

It is already sunset time and we do not have time for a hike. Keeping this in mind, we drop the hiking plan and take a detour towards our next destination.

Khandarani Lake

“I am taking a shortcut,” Bhajahari announces. We see the woods have thickened around us. We are rolling on the red laterite soil, going in a zigzag motion while navigating the trees. Darkness has increased and the driver has put on his headlights. At this point I can almost hear my heartbeat. I imagine elephants coming out of the jungle and attacking us. I am keeping a sharp eye on my surrounding.

I give a sigh of relief at the first sign of the waterbody—Khandarani Lake.

Khandarani lake is a dam lake. The dam was constructed sometimes around 1996. The water helps in irrigating croplands and to provide potable water to the residents of at least 13 villages. This lake is also surrounded by forests, but unlike Ketki, there is a connecting road bridge that goes over the lake. Hence it is less remote.

The sunset strikes up silhouettes of the forest and the hills. A Traveller(the vehicle) crosses the bridge triggering a dustcloud. A local seated on a coracle boat is fishing—getting the last catch of the day. This is a place for peace. Not for tourist boating and adventure activities. If you seek calm and nature you will love this place to bits.

khandarani lake

Tarafeni Dam

This is another dam lake, very pretty and serene. It is situated on the Tarafeni river. It is a hit with picnic-goers I hear. Unfortunately, as the day has ended, we drop this place and head directly towards Kharagpur railway station with just one pitstop.

Buying date palm jaggery

Date palm jaggery is a seasonal delicacy in the Bengal region. It is revered for its distinctive woody sweetness and aroma. In winters the sap of wild date palms is tapped by professionals called “shuli”. The sap is then boiled until the desired consistency is reached. The shulis usually migrate from different regions, construct temporary huts near the trees and does the job.

Many such shulis are doing their job here. They have put up boards announcing the availability of the jaggery in front of their huts. We walk into one such place in search of “jhola gur”(liquid jaggery) and “patali gur”(solid jaggery). Surrounding his hut are date palm trees with pots hanging from them—the sap collection method. There is a furnace with steel and aluminium pots and pans on it, a place where the sap is boiled.

We walk into his sal-leaves roofed hut, taste his samples, and buy many blocks of patali and some jhola gur. I have previously worked on a date palm jaggery article for Eater and have done some research. With whatever knowledge I have gathered, I opine the patali to be of good quality. I brought many of these to Mumbai and made nolen gurer payesh.

With notes of jaggery on our tongue, we bid adieu to Belpahari.

Some tips to sensitise people

“Give me some money I will eat biscuit,” the kids on the way to Dhangikusum waterfall spoke like parrots. Obviously, someone has taught them this sentence. I saw one privileged visitor from the city ask them in a judgemental tone “why haven’t you gone to school?” I am sure she doesn’t realise the answer isn’t so simple and I’m sure she doesn’t understand the true meaning of “privilege and the lack of it”. Do not be like this woman.

If you really want to engage with the inhabitants then please be aware of their troubled past. Understand their social, cultural, and economic stand. Sensitise yourself and speak with empathy and compassion. Unfortunately, I have heard the word santhal and adivasi often being used as derogatory terms among the “middle class” people in India. Please do not do any such thing. Their food habits can be different to yours, again respect that. They are the people of the jungle. They produce minimum pollution and their way of life is the most sustainable for the planet. It is plain impressive.

Also please do not litter the forest, particularly plastic waste. Half-lit cigarette butts can cause forest fires so please be mindful. These are peaceful places, do not bring your thumping bass here. It will disturb the forest fauna and might land you in jail.
