Travel Blog by Malay Kumar



A place where all ready visited nearly every person from West Bengal. Mukutmanipur is also one of West Bengal's top tourist attractions, located in the Bankura district of West Bengal. That's why if you are planning to visit Bengal, then it is a must-visit place. Not just one but plenty of attraction are there like the Kangsabati river, Mukutmanipur dam, Susunia hill, Musafirana park, Pareshnath hill, Banpukuria Deer park etc.

Mukutmanipur is nearly 220 km away from Kolkata. You can pick up a train from Howrah station and it will take only 5 hours to reach your destination. There are mainly 6 trains like Rupashi Bangla Express, Howrah - Purulia SF Express, Rani Shiramoni Fast Passenger, Howrah - Chakradharpur Fast Passenger, Aranyak Express and Howrah - Bokaro Steel City Passenger. Most of the train runs daily. Also, you can reach Mukutmanipur by bus.

After reaching the Bankura station you can pick a private car or Bus to go there. When you intend to go there in winter, I strongly recommend you to book a hotel early in the month of mid-December or Christmas, as this is the best tourism season or you can take your hotel booking guidance from your car driver.



Mukutmanipur is not only popular for its earthen dam, but also it is the second-largest dam in our country. This place is around 70 km away from another famous destination Bishnupur which is also known as Temple city.

Mukutmanipur Dam was constructed under Dr. Bidhan Ch Roy, former Bengal Chief Minister. Now it is for the tourists a highly developed zone. The bridge over the dam, especially at night, is a beautiful view. You can go on a boat at night to enjoy the sunset across the dam's waters. This dam was constructed over the river Kangsabati, the other draw of Bankura.



Kangsabati River is also known as the cossey River. It rises from the Chota Nagpur plateau and moving through three districts of West Bengal - Purulia, Bankura, and West Midnapur. You can enjoy the river by taking the boat drive and it is going to cost you almost 150 - 200 rupees per hour.



There is another attraction near Mukutmanipur, Susunia Hill. It is a place of archeological significance and a base of climbing the rocks. The entire hill is surrounded with magnificent shrubbery, impressive trees and other uncommon plants with lush flora.

It is a perfect place for those people who want a combination of both - adventure and relaxation. I visited this place for the third time and every time I enjoy it. So, I will suggest you to go there and enjoy your next weekend with both River and Hill.

Travel Blog by Malay Kumar Bishnupur is a wonderful place to visit. This city is famous for the Terracotta temple. Considering the high temperature, summer may be a problem, so, I, therefore, feel winter is the best option to visit Bishnupur. Not too far (about 200 km by train) from Kolkata. From Howrah station, you can easily pick up a train , and it will take nearly 3-4 hours to reach your destination. Let's talk about some important location in Bishnupur... Mrinmoyee Temple is one of the major sites in Bishnupur. While it was known as the oldest temple in Bishnupur, but now you will locate this old temple with a new structure.

NRC kicks at both ends

Social Concern by Malay Kumar Ever since the Citizen Amendment Bill (CAB) came into power in November 2019, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) remains as the latest controversial topic in our country. So, let's talk about it and how it is related to the CAB?  In 2021 the Indian government is planning to introduce the National Register of Citizens for the entire country. Also, it gets updated every ten years. But, considering the huge population of our country it is proving to be a tough ask for the government. In almost every nation, whenever the government made any major changes (amendments) in its rules affect the people, if that change occurs in a country that holds records as the world's second-largest population, the changing sound never looked good. The government should check their external factors more than the internal problem. Because the only way you can stop the refugees to come to our country without any valid reason is to stop them from whe
