Location & Geography

A perfect getaway for nature lovers and adventurers.

Sonkupi is located in the Baghmundi area of Purulia district. Specifically, the address for one major resort lists: “Duarshini More, Sonkupi Village, Post – Matha Forest, Baghmundi, Purulia - 723152, West Bengal.” The village lies at the foothills of the Ayodhya Hills (“Chotonagpur plateau” edge) and is surrounded by forested hills and natural streams.

“Village Sonkupi, Baghmundi … located in laps of Chotonagpur Platue. It is surrounded by natural beauty like Dam, Falls, wildlife like Matha forest & Tikartnar forest.

What the Place is Like ?

From tourism-related descriptions: Sonkupi is a laid-back, scenic village with hills, forest, and a more “off-beat” feel. For example: “The valley lies at the foothills of the Kukuburu hill. Nume rous streams trickling down the hills … make Sonkupi an ideal retreat for nature lovers.”

The soil in Purulia is often called “Lal Matir Desh” (land of red soil) owing to its terrain, and Sonkupi appears to participate in that landscape.

Seasonal highlight: The vibrant red flowers of the palash tree bloom in the region in spring (which covers the ground in red). Sonkupi’s marketing for resorts mention palash trees on their grounds.
