Panskura and Khirai, two regions of West Bengal produce some of the best ornamental flowers like Chrysanthemum, Karen and Marigold for the whole of West Bengal and neighboring states. In fact, the seeds of these flowers reach far lands of Uttar Pradesh as well, where they are also cultivated.

Khirai is easily accessible from Kolkata . Khirai by train is a good option for many. Khirai by road is a two-hour drive from Kolkata to Panskura and then a 10 min diversion through the village to reach the farmlands near the railway bridge.

Khirai best time to visit

Winter, is the season when Khirai blooms to her full glory. Known as the Valley of Flowers of West Bengal popularly, the farmlands are like a picnic destination for the locals who live here. In recent years, this place has gained popularity, attracting visitors from Kolkata as well. The farmlands located along with the Kangsabati river banks glitter like pearls on a necklace in the winter haze of the afternoon sun.

I reached here quite early before the crowds came in. The entire landscape was dotted with flowers and a railway bridge running arrow-straight through the landscape. For the farmers who toil in these farms, Khirai flower cultivation represents months of dedication and hard work to make something bloom in sync with nature.
