Looking for a quiet, green escape that’s perfect for a day trip? Say hello to Biharinath Hill—a lesser-known gem in Bankura where hills meet forests, and the pace of life slows just enough to let you breathe deeply.
Biharinath is the tallest hill in Bankura, standing at around 451 meters. It’s not a touristy chaos—you won’t find crowds or loud music here. What you will find is fresh air, temple bells in the distance, and a peaceful vibe that’s hard to come by.
It’s often called the “Araku of Bengal” because of its cool climate, green trails, and hilly charm. Plus, the entire area is dotted with forests, small streams, and tribal villages.
The hill offers easy to moderate treks—great for beginners or anyone wanting a calm walk through nature. As you go up, you'll pass by bamboo groves, chirping birds, and the occasional monkey swinging above.
There are several open areas with shade near the base that are perfect for family picnics. Bring your mat, snacks, and maybe a speaker for some light music. Just keep it peaceful—the place deserves it.
Don’t miss the Biharinath Temple at the foot of the hill. It’s a serene little spot with local stories, devotion, and a calming atmosphere.
Biharinath Hill is perfect if you're craving a break from noise and screens. Whether it’s a soulful solo trek or a laid-back picnic with friends, this hill welcomes you with open arms and rustling leaves.
