Gangoni Danga

Coordinates: 22.8587° N, 87.3407° E
Address: Garbeta, West Midnapore District - 721122, West Bengal, India

This is a natural canyon located near Garbeta along the river Shilabati. The road to this place ends with a red rocky land that leads to a precarious drop to a valley below, where the river flows across the canyon floor. One can find a number of jagged laterite cliffs which have been created by the play of wind and water over a number of years to carve this landscape. As one descends through the cliffs, the colours change to various hues of yellow. It is believed that the Pandavas, stayed here during their period of exile.  This has now become a tourist spot.
