Every milestone below is measured by road from our gate.

…the road goes on

Further out, 29 to 120 km — each one is a full day out. From here the stops are bunched together, not drawn to scale.

Distances are by road from the resort gate and rounded. Arrows show which way a place lies from the resort as the crow flies — the road itself may wind.

By direction
The compass wheel

Which way is everything?

Most of Purulia's hills, dams and falls lie north and north-east of the resort, up on the Ajodhya plateau. Tap a direction to see what lies that way.

The hut at the centre is the resort. Tap a direction to filter the list, or a dot to see how far it is. Rings mark road kilometres on a square-root scale, so 3 km and 120 km both fit.
