Our next destination would be Oxbow Lake at "Purbasthali" (Bardhaman district). You may search internet to explore more on the place.
Here's the wiki link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purbasthali
We would try to post few pics of flora or fauna captured by our forum members only who already have visited the place.
So here you go with the details:
Destination- Oxbow Lake at "Purbasthali"
Date- 21st Feb'16 Sunday
Reporting Time- TBD (it should as early as possible)
Reporting Place- TBD (people can board train from their convenient stations as well)
Journey Route- Train to Purbasthali station, then Cycle Van. (early morning train from Howrah or Sealdah. To be decided as per everyone's convenience)
Cost / Expenditure- We may need to hire local boats for roaming around the habitat and accessing ideal places to collect specimens. As confirmed by forum members (frequent visitor to the place) we can only cover 1/20th of the lake on walk. Hence hiring boat could be necessary. Hence there would some expenses involved of Rs.150-200 per head (lunch + breakfast+ Train/Van fare excluded).
We can assure you it would be another wonderful trip close to the nature
