Barhanti
Purulia district forms the lowest step of the Chota Nagpur Plateau. The nearest railway connection of Baranti is Muradi railway station (6 km) on the Asansol-Adra line of South Eastern Railway zone. Baranti is a developing tourist center located in the lap of Gorongi Hill. This village is surrounded by the Panchkot Hill at one side and the Biharinath Hill on the other, with a water reservoir under Ramchandrapur Medium Irrigation Project. This area is popular for hill and jungle trekking due to its natural environment.
The place has been aptly described in The Telegraph, "right in the lap of a hilly range with a huge water reservoir...Sunset is particularly special in Baranti. The lake keeps changing colour from time to time. It’s a real treat for the eyes to sit and watch the various shades of yellow and red reflected on the water
and quietly spreading out on to the paddy fields... The huge water body around the dam attracts a lot of migratory birds every winter."
Baranti Eco Tourist spot is basically a moderate sized water-body with a small dam. It's a good spot for relaxation and great sunset viewing location. The verse of the beautiful Mother Nature is stunningly depicted and offered by the Baranti Lake View Resortwhich is an ode to pristine natural beauty. Come and wander around the attractive landscape with hills, lush greenery, clear water, fresh air and lots more.
Popular for its rich heritage and culture and the very vibrant tribal people, Purulia, one of the most widely spoken about tourist attraction places in West Bengal is getting an additional edge among travel bonkers and nature lovers, thanks to Baranti, a small but unbelievably scenic village at the place.
As a result, off-late Baranti has started getting a lot of attention as a tourist destination.
