Wish to put in my journey to Massanjore (by Ravi Asopa 9830161201 - 24.12.2010)
It is 270 kms from my house in Hastings to Masanjore Mayurakshi Bhavan. It took us 5 hours drive. From Kolkata to Darjelingmoore at Panagrah is 160 kms. And from there it is another 110 kms.
M.B. is a nice place to stay. Clean from city pollution. One can stay there for 2 nights.
Nice place for family and friends to stay and enjoy the nature.
