If you are planning a slow, green getaway in West Bengal, Ajodhya Hill in Purulia is one of the most underrated hill destinations in the state.

Sitting atop the hill, The Divine Oasis is a serene forest resort just 0.4 km from the Ajodhya Hills & Forest Reserve.

Why Ajodhya Hill, Purulia?
Around 200 km from Kolkata, the Ajodhya Hills and the surrounding Purulia district are a weekend playground for hikers, photographers, and families. The Ajodhya Hills & Forest Reserveis famous for the Matha Buru peak, the highest point in Purulia, as well as for waterfalls that flow in the monsoon. From the reserve, you can drive out to Thurga Dam (13.8 km), the ancientDeulghata temples (33.7 km), and Barabhum (38.5 km) for day trips.
Because the region remains relatively undeveloped, quality resorts are few. That is exactly why a purpose-built forest resort like The Divine Oasis, with its own organic farm and on-site veg thali, is a reliable anchor for planning your trip through Purulia.

What Sets a Forest Resort Apart
A true forest resort is defined by what surrounds it.
