Garh Salboni in Jhargram is the lesser-known tourist destination in Bengal is ideal for a short and peaceful weekend vacation from Kolkata. Garh Salboni is located in between Jhargram & Lodhasuli. Beyond the Gangetic plains of Bengal, Jhargram offers the most exotic undulating topography culminating in hill ranges of Belpahari, Kankrajhor in the North to the serene and meandering Subarnarekha River in the South.
Kuheli Homestay is located inside forest of 26 bighas of land, go for a walk through avenues lined with sal, piyal, segun, Mahul, Cashew and eucalyptus trees, to Jangalmahal. We have 130 years of British made bungalow with 4 brand new cottages.
It is a favorite destination for people who love forests. The ancient temples, royal palaces, cultural feats of folk music and tribal dance, makes it an extremely attractive destination for tourists who enjoy discovering the unknown and unaffected beauty of nature in this area.
Tranquility and serenity are the keys to the forest experience here. The fragrance of the mohua may intoxicate you more than a peg of an alcoholic beverage. Silence reigns, but as you tread the path, the murmur of dry leaves under your feet will announce the arrival of visitors.
