Jhargram offers the most exotic beauties of undulating topography culminating in hill ranges of Belpahari, Kankrajhor in the North to the serene beauties of meandering Subarnarekha River in the South. The ancient temples, royal palaces, folk tunes and rhythms of tribal make it all the more attractive destination for tourists who love to discover the untouched beauties of nature. The seasonal variations add to the charm in the forests, in summers the Mahua trees are blanketed with aromatic flowers with the blooms of moonlit nights and during the monsoons the Shaal trees are laden with the mystique of woody fragrance. The bed gravel pathway surrounded by the endearing hills and rivers, this place is also known as the red soil region or Lalmaati in local language.
