What we know

A main training ground for Kolkata clubs from 1980. Forest department fees since 2019 have pushed courses elsewhere.

This is a smaller area. It has few climbs or little written down. Do not expect a guide, pad rental or a place to stay for climbers. Go with someone who knows the place, and check access before you travel.
