Palamu Forest | Betla National Park | Palamu Fort | Kechki | River Koel

#betlaforest #palamufort #kechkisangam A trip to Palamu Forest in winter. Our destination was Betla. Betla National Park is spread over 1252 sq. km area across Palamu and Latehar districts in Jharkhand. It is one of the first National Parks in India which was tagged as Tiger Reserve. In Jungle safari into the National Park, generally animals like Deer, Monkies, Bisons, Foxes are sighted. Elephants are also sighted sometime. But Tiger is rarely seen here, although it is named as Tiger Reserve. Peecocks and other species of birds can be found inside the park. At 5 km from the gate of National Park, there are two very old and historic forts are there - Palamu Forts. From top of the forts one can have a bird;s eye view of the Palamu forest land. River North Koel and Auranga meet at the confluence of Kechki Sangam, which is 11km away from Betla. There is a nostagic Forest Rest House at Kechki. The video is made purely for entertainment purpose and serves as a travel guide for tourists planning to visit Betla forest in Jharkhand. We don't have any intention for commercial promotion and it is not for any business purpose. How to go: Daltonganj (new name Medininagar) is the closest Rail head to Betla (24km). However, Shaktipunj Express leaves Howrah at 13-10 and reaches there at around Midnight. Although pick-ups are arranged from Betla hotels, reaching there at so late hours may be inconvenient to many. Alternate way is to reach Ranchi from Howrah by Train. From Ranchi Betla is 173km. By hired car it takes around 4 to 4.5 hrs to reach Betla from Ranchi. Car fare - Rs 1000 per day + 1 litre diesel cost per 10km journey.
