Being a part of the corporate world makes us used to with everything – deadlines, pressure, stress, traffic, pollution, and all other hardships of urban life. But once the time comes when we feel that we need a break!

It may sound relatable, but we still try to cope up with everything without any break. It is because we don’t have that much savings to travel to famous places.

Visiting the villages of West Bengal and nearby states is probably something that you have never planned at all. Well, it’s time to make plans and pay a visit to the offbeat places near Kolkata so that you can realize what you are missing out by not going to these places.

Go through the list and plan your trip in the lap of beautiful nature:

Visiting the nearby places like Ayodhya Hill, Pakhi Hill, Biharinath Hill, Susunia Hill, Jaychandi Hill, Panchet Hill, Muradi Dam, and Garh Panchkot with the sightseeing package of the resort is like a treat to you.

So pack your bag and know the unknowns near you.
