Patal Ghar ...A Hobbit village
Patal Ghar ...A Hobbit village
If you’re looking at some days off in Purulia and aren’t sure how many days are required. Well, this is an inquiry made by almost all travel groups. Purulia is a premier weekend getaway and a peaceful location situated at the westernmost point of West Bengal. What’s special about this place is that no one ever expects such a place from a state like West Bengal. At PatalGhar, we believe this to the core. So, let’s calculate the exact number of days required to visit Purulia.
Most tourists try to cover the entire area of Purulia in just one day. Frankly speaking, it is better not to do it because there are many things about this region that you have to take your time to discover. Its landscape keeps changing every couple of kilometers. At one point you see a rocky hill on your way, and at another – a gushing waterfall.
For example, a weekend tour covers sites such as Ayodhya Hills, Gorgaburu, Murguma Dam, Joychandi Pahar, and others, all of which require individual attention. Moreover, the tribal culture of this region is very colorful; the Chhau dance, tribal music, and craft give you an additional flavor of your journey.
For people with limited time, a Purulia tour for 2 to 3 days is an ideal choice. This allows you to take some time and visit the important places.
Below is a summary of the plan:
First Day: Arrival, accommodation check-in, and local sightseeing at Ayodhya Hills
Second Day: Visit waterfalls, dam, and spend the evening in cultural shows like Chhau Dance or tribal performances
Third Day: Visit caves and forest and depart at leisure
But if you have four days, then there are more things that you could visit. However, one thing about Purulia is that it cannot be hurried through.
Now, time for something special. If fairy tales are what you like, you will surely enjoy your stay at this weekend getaway. PatalGhar is a nature retreat designed with Hobbit-style accommodation in Sonkupi, situated within the Matha Forest in Baghmundi, Purulia. Imagine comfortable hobbit houses with rounded doors, garden surroundings, and interiors constructed from environmentally friendly materials. It is truly as though you are living in fairy tales.
Surrounded by nature on all sides, the rooms and tents here provide guests with breakfast and dinner along with 24/7 assistance during their stay. The same goes for the car rentals provided on site, making transportation easy for guests.
