🚣Boating (Noka Bihar) 

Since the park is located near a natural water body and dam at the foot of Malancha Hill, the administration has introduced boating as a key recreational activity.

🚣 Noka Bihar (Boating) Details

• Activity: You can enjoy pedal boating or row boating on the calm waters adjacent to the hill.

• The Experience: It offers a unique view of the Maa Malancha Temple and the rugged hill cliffs from the water, making it a favorite spot for photographers and couples.

• Safety: Life jackets are mandatory and provided at the boarding point.

• Best Time: Late afternoon (around 4:00 PM) is the best time for Noka Bihar to catch the sunset over the water.

Comparison Note: Jamtara vs. Bardhaman

It is important not to confuse this with the Malancha Nature Park in Rasulpur, Bardhaman (West Bengal).

• Bardhaman Site: Also offers extensive "Noka Bihar" across seven different lakes and is a larger commercial resort.

• Jamtara (Nala) Site: Focuses on the natural dam water and provides a more rustic, scenic experience at the base of the spiritual Malancha Hill.
