We used to go to the Kansai river near by. Belpahari used to be another destination.

Thanx for suggestions.I had 2 options in my mind-Kansai(Kansabati) or Subarnarekha for the river trek and Susunia for some elevation.
I believe Susunia is good for rock climbing-how much time will it take?Will it be enough to keep us busy for a whole day or is it just a couple of hours affair?If we start early(4:00am) in the morning from Kharagpur can we get down to business the same day?

What about the forest at Salua? Is it still there or gone? We had been chased by elephants once there.

Hi Jyotirmoy
So u have been to Salua.How long ago did u go there?
Its now a pretty busy place.The forest doesn't appear to be very imposing from the road.I don't know how was it a few years back-I've been staying in Kgp for about 1.5 years and I've cycled past that place a couple of times. The forest is about a km after the army office at Salua but a few days ago on a holiday I saw picnic goers crowd near the forest.There is a walled enclosure and I believe picnic goers won't go there to be welcomed by elephants(who are pretty "active" as u say).I'm not sure of the exact extent of the forest, so I'll need to enquire.
