Duarsini
দুয়ারসিনি
A forest valley in the Bandwan area of southern Purulia, with hills and sal forest around a stream. The state eco-lodge makes it a quiet forest retreat.
Duarsini lies in hilly country on the border between Purulia and Jharkhand. The Satgurum River flows through the forest, and the surrounding villages are home to Santal and Sabar tribal communities. Visitors can hike, birdwatch, look for butterflies and watch tribal dances. Facilities are basic, and most guests stay in cabins run by the West Bengal Forest Development Corporation. Duarsini is about 80 km from Purulia town and is a good choice for an overnight stay for travelers seeking peace and quiet.
