Places to visit

Rupnarayan Riverside at Shashati

The block's western edge runs along the Rupnarayan, separating Howrah from Purba Medinipur's Sahid Matangini block. Riverside villages such as Amardaha and Bachhri sit close to the water, and the embankment offers a quiet walk away from the crowds.

Garchumuk 58 Gate Barrage

Garchumuk & the 58 Gate Barrage

A short drive from Amardaha, where a 58-lock barrage regulates the Damodar's flow beside a deer park run as a zoological park — a favourite winter picnic spot.
