GANGANI GARBETA WEST MIDNAPORE || GRAND CANYON OF WEST BENGAL

Описание: We started our journey from serampore, hooghly at 9 a.m for gangani. There are two routes. Shortest route is viatarakeswar-arambag-khirpai-chandrakonaroad-garbeta.It is 124 k.m distance but the road is not so good. Another route serampore-uluberia-kharagpur-chandrakona road-garbeta. total distance 180 k.m. Total time of journey 4 to 5 hours. from kolkata gangani is 162 k.m.The beauty of the canyon of shilabati river is really amazing. It is a very good picnic spot.With the Shilabati river flowing through a 70ft-deep gorge and the adjoining places taking the form of different shapes and figures because of erosion, it’s a treat to the eye. The formations on the wall of the gorge spreading from east to west are something similar to the archaeological sculptures of Ajanta and Ellora but the only difference is that the ones at Gangani were not created by human hand. There was a pagoda-shaped formation that caught my attention even from a distance. Unless known beforehand one would never be able to identify that it was an effect of erosion on rocks, not a manmade shrine! It’s really astonishing how effortlessly nature can make such creations.After wandering for some time we sat on the bank of Shilabati. We saw some local people catching fish in the knee-deep water.

Afternoon had already passed and evening was approaching fast. The red colour of the walls of the gorge was further deepened by the rays of the setting sun. The whole place seemed to be on fire. Slowly the light died and soon an absolute darkness engulfed the place. We sat there wondering whether any modern laser show could match the lighting effect of nature we just witnessed.
