About SUSUNIA

Susunia, located in southern West Bengal, India, is a prominent hill recognized for its sacred spring, diverse flora, and challenging rock formations that serve as a training ground for mountaineers in the region. It is also a notable reserve for medicinal plants. Part of the Eastern Ghats, Susunia lies in the northwestern part of Bankura District. Nestled amidst a picturesque landscape of lush greenery and vibrant red soil, Susunia Hill rises to an impressive height of approximately 1200 feet. Renowned for its rich archaeological significance, the hill invites visitors to explore ancient tales through its scattered fossils, Stone Age tools, and the oldest rock inscription in West Bengal. Nature's splendor unfolds here, with the Gandheswari River murmuring softly at the base of the hill, while the fiery orange blooms of Palash trees dominate the scenery during certain seasons.

                     This serene retreat is a haven for bird enthusiasts, offering glimpses of exotic species like the Asian Paradise Flycatcher and Indian Pitta. Vibrant butterflies, such as the Golden Angel, Tawny Raja, and Spotted Swordtail, add to the hill’s charm. For nature photographers, Susunia is a paradise, especially in spring when its natural beauty radiates with unparalleled brilliance. It is the perfect escape to reconnect with the tranquility of untouched nature.
