Valentine’s Eve in Tong Camp, Purulia

Since January second week, two of my friends Sabyasachi, Samit and myself were planning to visit a beautiful place which is nearby and can be covered during weekend. At the same time we three wanted to gift some special experiences to our respective better halves on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. Accordingly, having collective research done, we fixed the place and that was Matha Bari Purulia. The booking of accommodation was a real struggle. We contacted all the properties in Sankupi however all of them was booked. After desperate search we could find out Tong Camp which was in a bit interior from the Purulia Baghmundi Road
Date of Journey: 14th February, 2021
Team: Venue- Myself and my wife Meghna, Sabyasachi and his wife Sriparna
i20- Samit and his family
Route: Jamshedpur-Katin-Barabazar-Balarampur-Sonkupi-Tong camp

We four starting from our home at 6.30 in the morning. We had a great breakfast at Barabazar with homemade cake, Aloor Chop and Chaay.

Reached the famous Pakhi Pahar by 9.15 am. An exemplary art work by respected Chitta Dey!

The road towards Tong camp is very scenic and through the foot hill of Matha Buru and Kuku Buru Hills. This narrow hilly road would definitely give a taste of off-roading


When we reched the Tong Camp we were really over whelmed with scenic beauty and tranquility of that place.
