Today’s children constantly find themselves plagued by the
overwhelming number of screens around them. The best way to remedy this is by
going back to the basics, i.e., packing your rucksack and going out somewhere
in the midst of nature. Our pick? The quaint and serene tribal village of
Baranti!
Located in the Purulia district, a mere six-hours from
Kolkata, Barhanti has spectacular views of the Panchkot Hill on one side and
the Biharinath Hill on the other, with a sprawling water reservoir making the
setting extremely relaxing. The setting makes for the most stunning sunsets,
and the natural terrain makes it perfect for camping and trekking.
Activities like trekking are the perfect way to teach your
kids some impactful life skills, like being self-sufficient, managing your
resources, coexisting with the natural ecosystem, being away from the
conveniences of city life, and exercising mindfulness towards nature.
Several resorts and lodges are present nearby, to help you
unwind after a long day in the woods.
So if you’re looking to spend some quality time with your
kids, this quaint village might just be the perfect spot!
