Tour Comments
[edit]- The most difficult to locate were the temples of Mankar. Google had no clue and in general people had no idea.
- The villagers were friendly as because Shantiniketan is nearby and the villagers are used to see City people in those area.
- Because of the immense distance we had to cover in one day, it was quite hectic. There are still many places to explore in the area. For any next exploration programme it would be better to stay at Bardhaman town and venture.
