You may have noticed Life Breezy of late is coming up with write-ups on interesting picnic spots located on the South of Kolkata. To tell you the truth, the reason behind it is that at the moment the south of Kolkata is rubbing shoulders with the North of Kolkata in terms of interesting picnic spots both in the criteria of quantity and quality. We sat down, analyzed and finally arrived at the conclusion to concentrate in this part of the metropolitan city Kolkata for some time. What’s more, this would let you have more options before you finally decide on a suitable spot for a day’s outing under the sun.
Today, Life Breezy is introducing the Shrishti Gardens Picnic Spot located at Bowali in the South 24 Parganas district. Indeed, it’s not a matter of few words to find the information of such an awesome picnic spot located at such a close proximity to the Kolkata City. Life Breezy has already been to the spot to shoot some snap shots and share with you, so cheers!

To get there
If you are travelling in a four wheeler from Kolkata, then the road direction would be Thakurpukur Bazaar, Bibirhat, Bakrahat More (Crossing), and Raipur More. From here, take right turn towards Budge Budge to cover another one and a half kilometers journey to reach Chakmanik Prathomik Vidyalaya or the Chakmanik Panchayat Office. Shrishti Gardens is located adjacent to it.
Alternatively, board a local train like the Budge Budge local from the Sealdah South Section and get down at the last station at Budge Budge Station. It would take around fifty minutes to cover a distance of 26 kilometers on a local train. Next, board an auto from the outskirts of the station to get down at the Charial More and get transferred to another auto to finally reach your destination near Chakmanik Prathomik Vidyalaya.
