Baranti

Baranti is a small tribal village near Asansol in Purulia district of West Bengal. On one side of Baranti is Panchet Hill and on the other side is Biharinath Hill. Baranti river is flowing by the side of Muradi hill. A dam has been constructed on this river. The place is calm, serene and surrounded by forests of Sal, Piyal, Mahua and Teak trees. Every year, during winter, thousands of migratory birds visit the water reservoir created by the dam. Apart from wild rabbits and wild pigs, there are deers in Baranti hill. The view of sunset in the waters of the reservoir is amazing. Altogether an awesome weekend holiday in the midst of nature awaits you at Baranti.
