Chupi Kasthashali Pakhiralay - Guest house in Kashthasali, Chupi - Purba Bardhaman, India

It's a nice place for day trip. I have visited the place alone in the month of December. I've enjoyed the boat ride for 3hours, there are a lot of migratory birds will definitely steal your frames.

Extremely good place to visit for 1 or 2 days for the nature lovers. Chupi is a small oxbow lake on the right bank of the Hooghly river. The paradise of migratory birds is just 8kms away from the town of Nabadwip and 120 kms from the Kolkata. It is specially known for migratory birds watching by boat riding. Charges of boat ride is 150/hr. The silence of this place breaks in winter when Chupir Char meets it's feathered friends. This 9 km long oxbow lake become home of many migratory birthday during winter . You can have a near glance to flocks of Gadwalls,Eurasian Wigeons,Northern Pintails, kingfishers, Intermediate Egret, the Sandpiper, Pochard and many more. If anyone wants to do bird photography of watch birds my suggestion is to stay 1 night there and go early morning before it gets crowded. There are govt. Cottages for stay you can book online. Till now there is no private hotels.

Excellent experience of migratory bird watching. Feeling like like birds those who flying out on blue sky. Migratory birds species are here over fifteen to twenty species but add native bird species it's forty to fifty. To observe, dawn is the best time.They are so beautiful. there are small boats for the purpose of observing birds, costs Rs 150/ hour (December 2022). A boat can carry four travellers. The boatmen act as guide, they know almost everything about the sanctuary and birds. There is a children park and picnic spot beside also. A pleasant place to visit in, specifically in winter.

Rooms basic, during off season maintenance is not good. The location is good as its right off the side of the lake from where you can get boats. Visit during winter is recommended.

This place is my favourite wetland in West Bengal, for birding and bird photography. If you love bird photography then you are not going to consider accommodation. Food and accommodations are low to moderate in terms of price pinch. In terms of quality a bird photographer can stay in marshes. But everything is under development, so you can expect betterment in a couple of years. Five stars for birding.

I feel it's a place of serenity. In winter,every year, it becomes a heavenly place for photographers from every corner of the country. Anyone can spend a day by seeing various migratory birds and sunset. Here Boating for an hour or two will be your lifetime experience...

Chupi is a great place of attraction in Purba Burdwan.During winter lots of migratory birds are coming to that place from Syberia, Australia etc. If you are a birds lover, its a best place for you. You can take boat with 150 Rs. per hour and explore the water body. Every year I like to go there.

This is a basic accommodation for people visiting the bird sanctuary at Purbasthali. It's right on the lake, and boats are available in plenty. Staff is polite and helpful. Clean rooms with running hot water, air conditioning. Basic but wholesome meals. Very reasonable charges.
