BARANTI HILL STATION
Barhanti, Purulia, West Bengal, India
Surrounded by beautiful lakes and hills, Boranti is located 225 KM northeast of Kolkata in the Purulia District of West Bengal. The village makes for an excellent weekend getaway from the bustling city life to enjoy the simple joys of life like blue skies and the peaceful lush green forests. There aren’t a lot of activities to do in Boranti while you soak in the tranquil weather, but a trek to the Panchkot Hill or the Biharinath Hill on either sides of the village can fulfill your thirst for some adventure.
