MUKUTMANIPUR BOATING
Mukutmanipur, Bankura, West Bengal, India
The 86 Square KM lake is home to several islands. A half-an-hour boat ride to the middle of the lake will take you to a small island that houses the Bonpukuria Deer Park, which is also a bird-watcher’s paradise. The rocky side of the shore acts as the border with Jharkhand. While the other side is dotted with patches of green scrub and hillocks that are part of the Bangopalpur Reserve Forest. When you are done with the boat ride, take a laid-back stroll around the lake and watch the sunset behind the hillocks. A sight so beautiful, you might run out of your phone battery or storage clicking pictures endlessly. Shift your gaze from the sky to the pathway below and you might notice colourful artwork of boats and fish for nearly a kilometer-long stretch.
