THE VALLEY OF FLOWERS KHIRAI
This popular destination is famous amongst the few where you may find the majority of the people from the nearest districts of Bengal. The main attraction is the vast acres of farmland cultivated with varieties of flowers.
Khirai is a well-arranged small railway station on the Howrah-Kharagpur railway line. As beautiful as the name Khirai is the beauty of the surroundings is hundreds of times more. A small river flows through the end of the railway station, it is better to call it a canal than a river. Khirai is the river, and the station is named after the river. The river is rich in rainwater, so there is no water except in the rainy season. In winter, the gathering of sparrows sits on the river bank.
And this Khirai is cultivating flowers on hundreds of bighas of land on both sides of the river. Just flowers and flowers as far as the eye can see. What kind of flowers can I say, marigold, cherry, chrysanthemum, tuberose, more flowers However, the dominance of marigold flowers was most noticeable. Seen from the railway bridge over the Khirai River, it looks as if "someone has spread a yellow and green carpet all over the river". Quiet, secluded place. No one is there except a few flower growers. There is no shouting of tourists, no bustle of the city, no pollution, no noise. There is just infinite peace, an eye-catching scene. No matter how hard it is, the mind is bound to be good when it comes here.
Once Khirai arrives, you may think that you have reached the famous "Valley of Flowers" in Uttarakhand by Time Machine. Although there is no comparison to the weight of the loan. However, for those of us who are thirsty for travel, for those who have not been able to go to the "Valley of Flowers", Khirai can become a destination for the "Valley of Flowers".
