Planning a short but memorable getaway to someplace countryside and soothing, but cannot find the perfect spot? As always, Team Izifiso has come all prepared to serve the vacation platter for you, this time at Dariapur, West Bengal.
Located in the East Midnapore district of West Bengal, Dariapur is a place of great pastoral beauty with rivers and beaches nearby for you to explore as well. The immediate attraction is the Dariyapur Lighthouse that is a must-visit. However, a highly interesting aspect of this place is the Kapalkundala temple connected intrinsically with the literary heritage of Bengal. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, the universally acclaimed Sahityasamrat, based his famous narrative of Kapalkundala based on his experiences in this place and his visits to the temple where he met a saint upon whom he based on of the major characters in the narrative. The said temple, known as the Kapalkundala temple with a shrine dedicated to Shiva and Chandi each, is still there to be explored as a tourist spot as well as religious site. However, if you want some more adventure and amusement you can visit the Bankiput beach nearby for walks in the white sand, fishing and walks through the dense forest bordering it. Another beach that you should not miss exploring nearby is Baguran Jalpai, famous for its casuarina trees and multitudes of red crabs that form an eye-catching red layer over the sand with their huge numbers. Our campsites provide you comfortable relaxation with good quality accommodation, as well as bonfire facilities with great food to make your stay even more enjoyable. Book now!
