Cycling in the Mangroves of south Kolkata
My Cycle
bicycle costed me only INR 600
Take a new Trail
taking a new trail is superfun
Working without the fear of snakes
he was curious to know the intruder on cycle
Could not click the snake
Camouflage
Getting closer to the village
‘pukur’ – bengali word for a ‘pond’
I was shocked to see this guy there .lol.
“A Happydent Smile could give the whole village some light”
wonder what was he doing up there
A mother protecting her babies
the nest was in total danger
and they all came to see the intruder
Someone was happy to see me
at least someone was happy to see me
Invitation did come for tea ‘Chaa as they say in bengali’
but no way to walk n enter this house
On my way back it had started raining
my bag needs a rain coat
resting near a pukur
Chai time
chai time
got myself clicked too
Renting a boat to cross Ganga
River Ganga: i rented a boat to reach the city side
rented a boat to reach the city side
I don’t like the city Kolkata much but the village side is worth staying for months.
The “pukurs” (ponds) are so clean in the backcountry that people from the village don’t give a second thought before going for a swim even though reptiles are found everywhere in the mangroves.
Villages covered: Rassapunja , Charaktala , Raipur & a few more !
