Gangani is called the Grand Canyon of West Bengal. It's an amazing and beautiful place... and a very good picnic spot too. It is about 70 feet profound natural canyon created by erosion of shilabati river. You can travel from Garhbeta or Bishnupur or Joypur. There is a huge number of hudoo rock, but must be very careful not to skate near edges as the pebbles are quite slippery & unstable. But this area isn't safe for single girl or woman.

Travel compared to foreign places....!
