Greenland (Sabuj ban)

This is a unforgettable experience of mine which I want to share with all. This is not an advertisement.

Recently I have gone for a tour in Greenland near Shantiniketan in Bhirbhum.This place is famous for Shantiniketan of Gurudev Rabindranath Thakur and Rabindra bharati University where once Indira Ghandhi were a student.

So many have gone to Shantiniketan to visit,But in this winter please go to Greenland(in Bengali-Sabujban).From Bolpur and keeping behind Shantiniketan it is situated in rurh Bangla with a nice and silent atmosphere in West Bengal.This tourist spot was created bu famous nature lover Abdus Salim. Greenland has many trees near about hundred types around this with a small lake in center. Many huts are situated here,which looks like a hut but it has all modern facilities inside.Visitors stay there.

Red village road with many palm trees in series will attack you. In one side Ajoy river with kash flower (tall species of grass used for mat) and in other side green field for cultivation situated. All this long field is full of vegetables now. Visitors are eaten with these vegetables and rice.The menu also cover with many types of fish from local pond and cost is very minimum.One Orchard is also in there with many flowers like rose of many colors,tulip,marigold,balsam etc.Some extra visible place like some local temples, the palace of ancient king,art and cultural museum are also there.
