BIHARINATH - My Experience

Recently visited Biharinath located in the Saltora forest in the terrain of Chotanagpur plateau in Bankura district, which is 26 kms by road from Ranigunj Railway station & can be reached from Asansol as well. Biharinath Hill is the highest peak in Bankura district & is known for its sacred temple of Lord Biharinath. Locals attend the religious Fagun Mela at Biharinath every year. The place is extremely rich in flaura & fauna & has exquisite natural beauty. Biharinath is surrounded by waterbodies & various species of birds are found here. The nearby Muradi Dam, surrounded by hills is 24 kms from Biharinath & known for its scenic beauty. Historical sites like Gar Panchokot can be visted from here. Tourists can stay at a private lodge at Biharinath & the Forest department has built cottage facilities for the visitors which will be functional by this year end or begining of next year. This has been a wonderful experience for me & I never knew there is such a beautiful place in the vicinity of Kolkata.
