In this video, I am trying to capture the essence of Bhalopahar, Purulia, the rich surroundings it offers, the peace and the greenery. I visited there as a day visit, had lunch, visited the school and had a great time walking around the forest and farms.
Bhalopahar, Kunchia, Purulia is a great weekend destination with one's friends and family throughout the year.
