Chapter II
Morning · the village wakes

রাঙামাটি means red earth.

It's the colour of the paths between our cottages, of Purulia's fields and of the painted mud walls of its villages. Rangamati is a small eco resort in Sankupi, at the edge of Matha Forest — fresh air, open lawns, hills on the horizon and an unhurried pace.

  • Eco-friendly, natural surroundings
  • Hill & forest views from the lawn
  • Birds and peacocks for neighbours
  • Fresh, home-style food
