Grand Canyon of Bengal : GANGANI || History of Gangani || Tourist Destination

Описание: Grand Canyon of Bengal : GANGANI || History of Gangani || Tourist Destination

As you follow the long winding staircase that starts at the road level, the scenery begins to change. Tawny rock formations rise up to meet the eye. Down below flows a sleepy river. As you reach the end of the staircase, you are transported to a strange world where roaming dinosaurs would not have surprised you.

Tucked away in the south-western corner of West Bengal is Gangani (or Gongoni), a nearly 70- feet deep natural canyon carved by the River Shilabati. Or, as the local people believe, it was the upheaval resulting from a fight between the demon Bakasura and the Pandava brother Bheem which dented the rocks. Local people also refer to it as Gangani Danga. Although far from the original in look and size, the place is popularly called the Grand Canyon of Bengal.

Weathered by the water channels and the wind, the lateritic surface has eroded over centuries, now exhibiting myriad formations, from sheer cliffs to earth pillars to caves, and others, which will remind you of pictures from school geography books. Depending on the stages of erosion, the colour of the formations vary from red to yellowish brown. At different hours of the day, especially during early morning and late afternoon, the rocks throw up a kaleidoscopic play of colours. During monsoon, snatches of green plants break the monotony of red and brown. In monsoon, some of the channels get filled with water.

You may follow the intricate passages thrown up by channels to explore the area. But yes, do be careful as you clamber over the uneven surface. It is better to avoid the higher areas as there is no way of knowing the extent of erosion and accidents can happen.
