Purbasthali is 120 kms distance from Kolkata..So on a winter morning ,11th Jan 2020 ,I took a train from Sealdah to visit this place ..The journey was around 3hrs from Sealdah ..I reached Purbasthali station around 11am ..After having breakfast ,took a Toto from the station to reach the destination that took 10 mins..Reaching the destination a boat man ,his name was Biswanath asked whether I want to book a.boat ..After bargaining on the rates he took me to his boat and it was agreed that I will have a 4 hrs journey where Biswanath da will show me all the various kinds of birds found there..So the journey began whose snaps Iam uploading here ..Biswanath da ,helped me to see ,Red crested Pochard ,grey headed swamphen ,white throated kingfisher ,Eurasian coot ,eastern great egret .While sailing I also saw the new temple of Mayapur from a distance ...After a journey of around 4 hrs ,I came back and had my lunch from a nearby food stall the order of which I had placed before sailing ...It was a thrilling experiance ..I took the 4.25pm train back to kolkata ...
