Trip to Jhargram, Belpahari, Kankrajhor

After a long Covid-induced break, we finally decided to venture out again. We wanted to start nearby, and made our arrangements for a tour to Jhargram, Belpahari and Kankrajhor. As planned, we reached the Howrah station at the dawn of March 4, 2022, exactly 2 years after our last train journey from Hampi / Badami to Hyderabad. Our train, Ispat Express, started from Howrah at 6.35 AM and took 2 hours and 15 minutes to reach Jhargram.

Our itinerary :

• Morning of Day 1 : Jhargram Rajbari/ Palace, Sabitri Temple and Tribal museum
• Afternoon of Day 1 : Chilkigarh Rajbari, Kanak Durga Temple and Dulung River
• 2nd Day : Belpahari and Kankrajhor, which included the spots – Ghagra Waterfall, Tarafeni Dam, Khandarani Lake, Gadrasini Hill, Dhangi Kusum village, Ketki Lake
• 3rd Day : Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon

Day 1 morning: Jhargram Rajbari, Sabitri Temple and Tribal museum

We had made our booking for the next 2 days at the Jhargram Rajbari Tourist Complex . Once we came out of the railway station, we hired a Toto and reached within 15 minutes. Although the scheduled check-in time was 12 PM, we were lucky to check-in early.

Our first destination – the Jhargram Rajbari (Palace), was just across the entrance of the Tourist Complex. One part of the Rajbari has itself been converted to a heritage hotel.

The entry to the Raj Palace is not open to all the outside visitors. Only guests staying in Rajbari Tourist Complex can buy tickets for Rs. 15 and enter the premises. Then also, they have to confine their movement within the exterior garden area (and not allowed to enter the andar-mahal , or the inner parts of the palace). The palace buildings are quite well maintained and it is the perfect spot for photo enthusiasts.

We roamed around the palace gardens for some time and then headed to the Sabitri Temple , a short walk away. It was the royal temple of the erstwhile royals of Jhargram, and till this day the locals worship goddess Durga here in a grand manner.

 Next we hired a Toto and went to the Tribal Interpretation Centre . It is located inside a Sal forest. The museum exhibits the artefacts used by the local tribes of Jungalmahal and also depicts stories of their everyday life, rituals and the oppression they faced in the past. Outside the entrance are life-size figures of tribal men and women dancing. The outside walls of the museum are also decorated beautifully by paintings depicting the tribal life and culture. The museum remain closed on Mondays. On the other days, the timing is 11 AM – 5 PM.

The Forest Department (WBFDC) has built a few cottages next door, where tourists can make booking for their stay. It would surely be a unique experience to spend a night among these huge Sal trees, with nothing but the chirping of crickets.

The Toto was waiting for us, and we came to the town-centre and had lunch at the Annapurna Restaurant . The food here was tasty and price very reasonable.

Day 1 afternoon: Chilkigarh Rajbari, Kanak Durga temple, Dulung River

Many tourists prefer a Toto ride to Chilkigarh, situated at a distance of around 15 KM, due to the cost advantage. But we thought that this Toto ride can be a torture to our backs, and decided to hire a car instead.

Surajit picked us from outside the restaurant and we reached Chilkigarh Rajbari around 2.30 PM. The buildings of the palace and temples have not at-all been maintained and they are in a dilapidated state. One of the buildings has now been converted into a Government office.

Next we moved to the Kanak Durga Mandir . From the car parking, we had to walk through a forest trail, fenced on both sides, to reach the temple. A new temple has now been constructed beside the old one, which is now in shambles. One can offer prayers in the temple only in the morning, so it was closed when we reached there. Also, beware of monkeys here.

By the side of the old temple, there is another trail that leads to the tranquil Dulung River . It was a hot sunny day, but the cool breeze here induced fresh energy. We spent some time sitting under a tree and rejuvenated ourselves.

There are a couple of more trails to different parts of the river, out of which we explored another one and then started back for Jhargram.

Day 2 : Belpahari and Kankrajhor trip

An average tourist visits only the 4 spots in this region – Ghagra Waterfalls, Tarafeni Dam, Khandarani Lake and Gadrasini Hill. But we had planned for a few more and wanted to travel till Kankrajhor. So we started early, around 8.30 AM. The ride through the State Highway was very smooth and it took us around 1 hour to reach Belpahari’s Indira Chowk.

Our first stop was at the Ghagra Waterfall . It has a picturesque landscape, where a small stream of water flows along a rocky surface. It is much more beautiful during the monsoon when the stream is in its full might. We climbed up the boulders and clicked some nice photos against the backdrop of the rocks.

A short drive from Ghagra took us to the serene Tarafeni River Barrage . The dam serves as the source of water for the neighbouring villages. We spent some time here, before going back towards Indira Chowk.

Once on the State Highway, we headed towards the Khandarani Lake . The last few minutes of the ride was a bit bumpy through the village roads. The placid water of the vast lake, bordered by forests on both sides, made us spellbound. We took a stroll along the path bordering the lake and sat down on the banks as time flew by. During the winter months, you can even spot many species of migratory birds here.

Our last stop before lunch was Gadrasini Hill . It has a steep trek and should be avoided by elderly and persons with ailments with knees and legs. The first part of the climb is over loose stones and gravels. We had to be very much cautious so that we don’t slip and fall. After about 10 minutes of trek we came to the Basudev temple, where we took rest under the cool shade. After that, it was another 20 minutes of journey, but this time the rocks were steeper and bigger.

At the top of the hill is another temple – this time of Lord Shiva. I was expecting a spectacular view from the top, but it was nothing extraordinary. There was no 360 degree view also, partly due to the obstruction by the trees and partly due to the temple. So I would suggest that you can skip climbing the hill if you are not very interested in hiking and trekking. The entry to the hill is permitted till 4 PM.

There are a couple of eateries near the base of Gadrasini Hill. One of them is the Pabitra Homestay (Contact: 81165-77330). Here the food is made-to-order and so you need to call them in advance to place your order for lunch. Many tourists go back to Belpahari Indira Chowk for lunch, but that would be wastage of time if you are planning to explore further till Kankrajhor.

After a simple lunch consisting of rice, pulses, fried potato, vegetables and egg curry, we headed for the Dhangi Kusum village. On the way, we saw villagers making ropes from Babui grass .

Near the car parking of the Dhangi Kusum village , we saw local villagers creating crafts out of stones. The price was also reasonable and we purchased a few. The attraction here is the Hudhudi Falls , which is a short walk through a rocky terrain with jungle on both sides. But the waterfall was a disappointment, as it was just a very narrow stream of water flowing over the rocks.

The Ketki Lake , a short drive away, is not a very popular destination and we were the only visitors there. But I was mesmerized by the tranquility of the place. You can spend hours here, gazing at the calm and still blue water, with lush greenery on its banks.

The landscape gradually started changing as we moved towards Kankrajhor . This road, along the border of West Bengal and Jharkhand, is undulating with small hillocks at a distance on the left and a forest on the right. From where we parked our car in Kankrajhor, we could see the burnt remnants of the forest bungalow, which bears testimony of the bloody Maoist uprising in Bengal.

That was our last stop of the day, and it was time to go back. From Kankrajhor, there are 2 routes to go back to Belpahari/ Jhargram. One is the road that we have mostly taken from Belpahari. The other one is via Chakadoba , where the road meets the State Highway. This second route is longer by around 12 KM, but we chose it due to its own natural beauty. Especially the undulating and zig-zag road till Chakadoba, with tall trees on both sides, was really fascinating.

Day 3 : Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon

Today was our last day in Jhargram, and the train to Kolkata was in the afternoon at 3.25 PM. So we had plans to visit the Zoo and Khowabgaon in the morning. We hired a Toto for this short trip.

The first stop was at the Zoo, located on the other side of the railway tracks. This is actually a miniature version of the zoological gardens that you would have visited in larger cities. The biggest enclosure was that of deer, due to which the zoo is popularly known as “Deer Park” among the localites. Our kids enjoyed a lot feeding leaves to the deer, and got excited to see the leopards, hyenas and jackals roaming around.

The zoo has a dense population of Sal trees, and their shade was a nice relief from the hot weather outside. We spent some time lazing around. The road outside the zoo, with the Sal trees dotted on both sides is a perfect place for clicking a portrait.

The Zoo is open on all days, except on Thursdays. Timings are 9 AM – 5 PM (November – February) / 9 AM – 6 PM (March – October).

The last spot of our trip was Khowabgaon (The village of dreams – Khowab means dream, and gaon is village). The original name of the village is Lalbazar , a small dwelling of 13 families of the Lodha tribe.

May be the best was kept aside for the end of our journey. First of all, the journey to the village itself was mind blowing, with the path flanked by Cashew trees, and a dense forest of towering Sonajhuri, Eucalyptus trees on both sides.

In Khowabgaon , every mud-house is an open canvas. The villagers have been inspired and trained by Kolkata-based Chalchitra Academy and its founder Mrinal Mandal. They painted their walls to depict their everyday life – wedding rituals, social ceremonies, children playing, women cooking, cattle grazing and many more. One of the walls depicted film-maker Satyajit Ray shooting for his epic Pather Panchali .

The villagers apply fresh mud on their huts every year during Kali Puja. After that, they decorate and paint the walls afresh. So, if you are planning to visit Jhargram, please avoid the time of Kali Puja, as the place would become lifeless that time.

Although there is an instruction for visitors to pay Rs. 500 for photography, it is not a stringent rule. You would first be guided to the village office, where the office bearer would request you to donate as per your wish. The money is used to buy the painting material and also for maintaining the village. The villagers have also setup a shop where they sell paintings and handicrafts.

From Khowabgaon, we came back to the Tourist Complex, where we had kept our luggage. We had lunch there and then headed to the railway station for our return journey.

Useful Information and Tips :

Best time to visit jhargram:.

It is better to avoid Jhargram during summer, as it gets very hot. Winter is a good time to visit, but the landscape can get barren with the trees shedding their leaves. Monsoon should be the better time, with the lush green vegetation everywhere around. Also, the rains boost the might of the waterfalls and rivers, which become more alluring that time.

Details of the Car and Toto:

We travelled with Surajit (+91- 91630-46202) in his Swift Dzire car. For the trip to Chilkigarh Rajbari and Kanak Durga Mandir, he charged us Rs. 1000. And the cost of the Belpahari-Kankrajhor trip was Rs. 3000.

For our trip to Jhargram Zoo and Khowabgaon, we travelled in Rabi Mukherjee’s (+91- 99325-41004) Toto, for which we paid him Rs. 400. For other local travel (like Tribal Interpretation Centre, Railway station etc.), we availed the Toto service of Anjan (+91-90643-71058), and his rates were also very much reasonable.

All of them were decent and well mannered, and I would surely recommend them.

Review of Jhargram Rajbari Tourist Complex :

West Bengal Tourist Development Corporation (WBTDC) has developed this tourist complex, and it consists of two halves (on either side of the road) – the Main complex and the Annex part. The Main complex houses the Reception, the Dining Hall, and a few cottages and rooms. The cottages encircle a nicely maintained pond. The sprawling complex also contains nicely manicured gardens, children’s play area and an enclosure for turkey, goose and duck.

The Annex part also has a few cottages built around a pond. But this part is open to outsiders. The pond here is used by locals for bathing and washing purposes and the play area used by local children.

We stayed in a cottage in the Main complex, which had cost us Rs. 3000 (plus GST). The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast (Poori-sabzi or bread-omelette) was complementary. The food in general was tasty, although the price was on a higher side.

You can book the rooms online from the website of WBTDCL: https://wbtdcl.wbtourismgov.in/home

Scottie Scheffler makes remarkable look routine, wins RBC Heritage comfortably

Change Text Size

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Scottie Scheffler wasn’t supposed to win the RBC Heritage.

Scheffler did it anyway, and no other outcome seemed plausible after two holes of the final round. Generational superstars make the remarkable look routine, like it was always destined to happen, but make no mistake, that’s not normal, no matter how Scheffler made it appear.

The world No. 1 looked at ease as he fired a final-round 68 to win the RBC Heritage by three shots. He entered the fourth round up by one, but after a miraculous eagle chip-in on No. 2 that Scheffler made look mundane, it was about over. The final 16 holes were a formality, a slow coronation for King Scheffler that thunderstorms pushed to Monday. Scheffler played his final three holes Monday morning, capping it with a meaningless bogey on 18.

Scottie Scheffler's chip-in eagle is the Shot of the Day

“We've seen people do this over the years as far as excellence for time, over a little bit of time,” Max Homa said. “His seems to be sustained a bit longer than I can remember from a lot of people. It's not utterly shocking what he does. He just does it over and over and over again.

“That's amazing. … He almost makes it seem very realistic that we should do that.”

Homa’s quote wasn’t from Sunday. He said it Wednesday, less than 24 hours before the tournament began, and that assessment is even more true now than it was then.

Scheffler made two bogeys or worse all week – the first was a double bogey on the third hole of his first round. The second came on the 72nd hole. In between, it was flawless golf. Scheffler has won four of his last five starts. He’s won 10 times on TOUR in his last 50 starts. He’s lost to only one golfer since the start of March: Stephan Jaeger at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.

Top players spent the early part of the week gawking at Scheffler’s success and admitting there was a gap between them and him. Still, there’s supposed to be a letdown after a win, especially a major championship. It’s a mentally taxing and draining experience. The stress and energy of contending can wear down even the best, and Scheffler is a meticulous preparer, treating practice rounds with the intentionality if not quite the intensity of a final round.

Scottie Scheffler news conference after winning at RBC Heritage

He showed up to Harbour Town Golf Links for the first time Wednesday, taking the early part of the week to celebrate his Masters win and recharge back home. He didn’t see the course’s front nine until he played the first round. He admitted one eye was at home in Dallas, where his wife Meredith draws closer and closer to giving birth to their first child. He was prepared to walk off the course at any moment if she went into labor. That was the field’s only hope, as it turns out.

The quick turnaround and shortened practice time led to a sluggish start as Scheffler was even for his first 15 holes Thursday. Although he birdied Nos. 16 and 17 for a 2-under 69, he was already six shots behind after Round 1. His caddie, Ted Scott, had noticed some fatigue.

The great ones, though, do not panic, comforted by the knowledge that over time their stuff is superior and will win out. Scheffler would never say such a thing (too brash), but his clubs say it for him. Exhibit A: He shot a 6-under 65 on Friday, and that night the deficit was just three. Then he shot 63 on Saturday to leave little doubt: He was going to win again.

“He’s a physical specimen, I mean honestly he is,” Scott said. “He’s in incredible shape and you have to be to have mental fortitude. You have to get your body in physical shape so you can be mentally in it.”

Mentally, Scheffler said he’s never been in a better place on the golf course.

Scottie Scheffler’s Round 4 highlights From RBC Heritage

“I look back to Bay Hill, and I got off to some poor starts there, especially on the greens,” he said. “I'm just proud of how quickly I've been kind of fighting back from those little mistakes throughout the round and handling the surprises and stuff when it doesn't really go as planned. I think I've become better at managing that.”

A prime example came as the darkness descended Sunday night. Standing in the middle of the fairway on the par-5 15th, Scheffler duck hooked a 4-iron into the water. He was shocked. The swing was good; the strike was solid. But there was mud on the ball that he didn’t see.

Still up by five, Scheffler had plenty of breathing room, but he didn’t want to drop a shot. He slung a wedge around the tall trees guarding the hole and buried the 11-foot par putt despite having the option to wait and putt it in the morning, as his playing partner, Sepp Straka, did.

“The level of satisfaction of something like that is pretty high … to keep myself in position and not really give the guys behind me too much hope,” Scheffler said.

That mental strength is driven partly by on-course performance. Scheffler has regained confidence on the greens after switching to a mallet putter. That helps. But it’s also bred from his consistent cadence off the course. After pouring in eight birdies on Saturday, seven of which came from inside 12 feet, Scheffler did what he often does on the road. He went back to the rental house with frequent TOUR roommate and best friend Sam Burns and watched a movie. Tom Kim stopped by, as he had a few other times during the week. The routine was the same.

Burns, who has known Scheffler since their junior golf days, couldn’t sense a shift in Scheffler at any point during the week. Other than his late arrival, nothing was different.

“Just his normal self, pretty laid back,” Burns said.

Burns drew parallels to Scheffler’s golf, which hasn’t changed much over the years. The ability to dominate was always there.

“He's playing incredible golf,” Burns said. “He has a ton of confidence and he's also really good. It's a good combo. You have those three things working together and then you get what you got. He's the best in the world by a long way.”

Scheffler admitted he is starting to realize his stature is changing, although it still catches him off guard. Large crowds packed in to watch him tee off on Saturday. When he reached the first green, he looked back at those same bleachers a few hundred yards away. They were empty, even with the final five groups still to tee off.

“It was really interesting,” he said, still seeming a bit surprised. “It felt to me like the crowd was coming with me (Saturday), and there was definitely a lot of cheers out there.”

Scottie Scheffler closes out 72nd hole to cement 10th win at RBC Heritage

It’s new territory for the Texan. He has occupied the top spot in the world ranking for the last 48 weeks, but the general public seldom treated him like a sports idol. His understated personality, as genuine as it is, did not attract the masses, and he has actively avoided the spotlight. But his dominance is the draw now. The crowds are bigger and the cheers are louder as the golf world eagerly watches Scheffler make history, everyone wondering: How long can he keep it going?

“People like to see something special and they’re seeing it,” Scott said. “It’s easy to get behind a person like him, he’s easier to cheer for.”

Woods was the last player to win four times in five starts, back in 2008. Since 1983, Only David Duval has needed fewer starts to get from win No. 1 to win No. 10. Scheffler’s final-round 68 was his 40th consecutive round of par or better. He’s outperformed the field average in 36 of those rounds. Fans flock to dominance. It’s happening in the women’s game, with Nelly Korda at five straight wins and counting. It’s here for Scheffler as well.

Maybe things will change, as Scheffler is about to become a dad, knocking golf further down his list of priorities. He wants to be a better parent than he is a golfer, and perhaps that will take time away from his practice and preparation. Maybe then, he will fall off.

Don’t hold your breath.

“I grew up watching the end of Tiger,” Theegala said Saturday night. “Got to see Rory (McIlroy), DJ (Dustin Johnson), Jordan (Spieth), like all these guys kind of dominate for a period of time, and I was like, we could be in the midst of something really, really special.”

It was as if Theegala knew what was coming, and maybe he did. Maybe, deep down, we all did.
