Some places are more etched on memories than maps.
Welcome to the ethos and essence of GPLOT, a small island located in South 24 parganas, Block Parthar Protima, West Bengal, India. It's beauty lies in the confluence of the sea with the river. And golden sunshine on glistening sands. Be it monsoon or winter or early spring, birdlovers are bound to find their own slice of heaven here.
Gobardhanpur beach is spreading almost 15 Kms along Bay of Bengal. This beach is infested with red crabs and surrounded with deep forest where trees like "Jhau", "Garan", "Sundari" and "Heran" will be found. This forest has been frequently visited by the migratory birds all through the year.
Put up in our cottage. A far cry from urban sophistication and luxury, we do not have facilities available in hotels. We do have clean toilets, fresh sheets, warm blankets, and an overall sense of coming back to the roots. The scent of the salty wind, walking on the long stretch of beach, rural life around you and looking at the sky full of stars is an added attraction.

Walk for 100 metres from the cottage and you will find the dense jhau forest along the sea beach.
Dont forget to visit the local bazaar during the evening. Chat with the locals with a cup of tea to explore the hidden stories of GPLOT.
Sit in the balcony of Jhaumon and allow the fresh air to penetrate your sense while you revel in some me-time or simply meditate!
Wait for the fisherman near the beach to see the fresh catch of the day. Make deals to taste the different kind of fish.
You can visit the neighbouring places like Dhanachi, Kalas, Bonicamp and Bhagabatpur Crocodile Project.
