Purulia Diary – 4

Aditi Ghosh

Purulia Day 5&6: The days are quiet and peaceful here in Murguma. Waking up before dawn to trek through the forest and tribal village to a sunrise point. Today’s destination for sunrise was Bamondungri- the place is as magical as its name. During the day just lazying around and soaking in nature.In the evening after a stroll by the beautiful Murguma lake to witness the sun setting on the horizon, relished some local snacky (muri- beguni) with tea in the moonlight. The ambience was so mesmerizing that even my urban partner was comfortable staying in a tent under the sky…. we are the only guests in the camp to enjoy the serenity and are always lucky to be accompanied by a four-legged. Only the chorus of jackle howls at night made Rajesh wonder from where the music is coming
