Mukutmanipur Tourist Spot - Tourist attraction in Dudha Jharna - Bankura, India

It is the largest natural dam in Asia ,a great place for spending a lovely weekend in the solitary of lake and jungle. It is much less crowded than other tourist spots in Bengal, which is a great thing for people who want some peace. If you can book the West Bengal youth hostel , you can enjoy great view from your balcony. Boating the whole dam (7km) with nearby spots cost 300 rupees per head on average. The wind is really refreshing , it will sooth your soul.

Great place for a weekend trip. The Dam itself is the main attraction. Approximately 7km long. We were 24 members. My first long ride with Royal Enfield team. The trip was awesome.

Reached there by car and from mukutmanipur dam you have two options for side seeing. 1. You can reserve a toto, they'll charge you 500 for taking you to the nearest Ghat and while returning they'll show some places as well. 2. You can buy tickets for the boat, which will take you to the other side of an island. We booked toto for visiting places. Then we spent around 300 (per head 100) rupees tickets for the boat and it took us to that island. From that island we booked a van (40 rupees per head) for visiting places like deer park, donar Bangla park, green island and mohona. We spent around 2hrs to cover all the places on that island. Then we returned to that ghat by the same boat. Then we took our reserved toto and went to visit a famous temple and some other view points. All over, a nice place to visit on weekends or holidays with family.

This place is vast and beautiful. A nice place for weekend trip with family and friends. River waters are clean and the boat ride along the dam makes for an amazing experience

The place is nice and serene but used to be a lot better 15 years ago when I went there. Won't advise taking a toto or auto ride as it's just not worth spending 500 for that. I like going there during monsoon especially when they open the gates of the dam. During winter there is fair which is quite good in terms of handicrafts collection. But winter months will be too crowded.

Very neat and tidy place. The view is good, ideal place for picnic or a family outing. There is a lot of fun activity to do. You can take a boat to visit the other side of the river and feed the deer taking leaves in very less amount from the local people to encourage their livelihood. There is also a small zoo at the other side. It was fun.

Very beautiful dam..I have not such a beautiful dam in my life. Very neat and clean too..small islands are also there ..very beautiful

Wonderful place to visit, one can enjoy driving through its bund which is 14 km smooth asfult road. Famous Pareshnath temple is there, religious person will visit that place, priest has nice behaviour.
