What to see in Murguma 

Murguma is not just about its serene dam and lake — the surrounding areas in Purulia are dotted with waterfalls, hills, cultural villages, and hidden gems that make it an explorer’s delight. Here are the must-visit attractions around Murguma:

1) Murguma Lake: Right beside the dam lies the enchanting Murguma Lake, reflecting the surrounding hills and forests. The calm waters, scenic backdrop, and soothing breeze make it the perfect place for relaxation, boating, or simply soaking in nature’s charm.

2) Bamni Falls: A breathtaking cascade tucked into Purulia’s wilderness, Bamni Falls comes alive during the monsoon when the water gushes down with full force. It’s a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers. The best time to visit is during the rains when its beauty is unmatched.

3) Marble Lake: Unlike anything else in Purulia, Marble Lake is a hidden treasure that has quickly gained popularity among travelers. With its crystal-clear waters and unique rocky surroundings, it offers an almost surreal landscape. The best seasons to visit are Autumn (Puja holidays), Winter, and Monsoon, but visitors should be cautious during heavy rains as flash floods (Harka Baan) can occur.

4) Charida Mask Village: A cultural jewel of Purulia, Charida Village is renowned for its vibrant Chhau masks. Here, artisans craft the colorful masks used in the traditional Chhau dance, an age-old folk performance based on stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. Watching the mask-making process and interacting with the artisans is an enriching cultural experience.

5) Khairabera Dam: Nestled near the Baghmundi hills, Khairabera Dam is a serene lake surrounded by dense forests, streams, and small waterfalls. Its untouched natural setting makes it an ideal spot for picnics, birdwatching, and unwinding in complete peace.

6) Mayur Pahar (Peacock Hill): Part of the extended Ajodhya Hill range, Mayur Pahar (Peacock Hill) is adorned with lush greenery and tranquility. Its trails and vantage points make it a paradise for trekkers and adventure seekers, offering just the right amount of adrenaline along with natural beauty.

7) Ajodhya Hills: Perhaps the most famous landmark of Purulia, the Ajodhya Hills are an extension of the Chhotanagpur Plateau and a slice of the Eastern Ghats. Just a short distance from Murguma, this range is beloved for its sweeping valleys, rugged terrain, tribal culture, and scenic drives. It is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Purulia.
