New Year Trip: Explore These 2 Gems for 300 Taka

By A Staff Reporter : 

As the New Year begins, many look for opportunities to explore new destinations without straining their budgets. If you have just 300 taka to spare, you can still enjoy a day full of adventure, nature, and tranquility. Here are two offbeat locations ideal for a winter outing:

Khisma Forest -

Nestled in the lap of nature, Khisma Forest is a paradise for those seeking peace and greenery. A short trip from Sealdah to Birnagar on the Krishnanagar local train takes you close to this serene destination. From Birnagar, a quick ride by toto (electric rickshaw) will lead you to the forest. With just 300 taka per person, you can comfortably explore the area and enjoy a day immersed in nature. This destination is perfect for families looking for a budget-friendly day trip.

Purbasthali Bird Sanctuary -

For bird lovers and winter adventurers, Purbasthali Bird Sanctuary offers an enchanting experience. Located near the Katwa rail line, this sanctuary is a haven for migratory birds during the winter months. Visitors can glide through the waters in hand-made boats, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature and vibrant birdlife. Reaching the sanctuary is simple—board a train from Howrah to Purbasthali, and the rest of your day will be nothing short of magical. Ideal for group outings, this destination fits perfectly within a 300-taka budget. While the sanctuary experience is economical, consider extra expenses if planning a picnic.

Whether it’s a tranquil forest walk or a delightful boating experience amidst flocks of birds, these destinations promise a memorable day without breaking the bank. Take a break this winter and explore these hidden gems!
