On the way from Eco Park to Biswa Bangla Gate, alongside a lane past The Westin Hotel is what is popularly known as the ‘Bus Graveyard’. Far removed from the soothing scenes along Eco Park, this field of abandoned buses makes a gritty picture. It is an interesting spot to visit nonetheless, and with its creative graffiti and creeper-covered discarded vehicles, it looks like the setting of a grungy music video
On the other side of Eco Park is the Shree Ram Mandir. This temple was initially established underground when the area was still under development. After repeated floods ravaged the temple site, a replica was created on higher ground. The premises boasts of a massive Hanuman statue that can be seen from afar as you pedal along.
The Rajarhat Wetlands are far removed from the nearby bustle and stretch out like a series of snapshots of typically rural settings. Dinghies bob on water bodies. Paddy fields, wildflowers and vegetable farms stretch out on either side of the narrow path, and time seems to slow down while cycling here
