Back in March 2015, I have got a change to explore The Sundarbans, one of the most amazing places of India, so called “Amazon of East”. I traveled to Sundarbans from Kolkata through Basanti road and this rustic road journey turned out the most memorable journey I ever had. We traveled through many villages one by one on Kaccha/Dirt road.
I still remembered, at the time, when we were started towards Sundarbans, one of the members from coordinating team us already told us “Abhi bahot majja aane wala hai aap logo ko” (Now, you guys are going to have a fun). Indeed, this journey was an unique experience (As good as equal to Bumper ride). Most of the times, our coordinators were telling us real incidents, the villagers stories and how they spotted the Royal Bengal tigers and other wildlife in forest.
For me , it was the most rustic route I have ever been to and the interesting part was I witnessed urban and rural life in a single day. As we were moving away from the Kolkata City, I felt losing all the touch of metro life and it was peaceful in its ways.
So here I am sharing photos of people and interesting things I came across while I was travelling through Basanti Road. These photos offer the view of rural and remote part of India.

Neat tour! The modes of transportation and the village house along with a gazebo were lovely. Thank you for the Arm-chair tour. I have no idea if I’ll ever get to India so this was neat to see.
