People staying in the urban localities like Kolkata often ask themselves a question like why they feel weary and tired at the end of the day. Well, some of you may reason it’s because of their regular hectic schedule. However, the problem persists with even those who have hardly done anything the whole day. Contrary to this when they visit a hill station or a countryside they find the tiredness disappearing. Also, they get full of energy and do things which they never thought of doing before. Why is this so?
One main reason for this is the high level of various types of pollution in cities. So, it becomes that much necessary to take breaks at regular intervals and moving outskirts of cities to spend some quality time with friends or family.
Today, we are having a mention of a place located not too far away from Kolkata. It’s suitable for those who want to spend some quality time in a quiet and peaceful environment.
