Situated about 13 km from Durgapur City Centre and 7 km from Panagarh, this forested heritage zone is believed to be the ancient meditation ground of Lord Shiva and the birthplace of the legendary Dharma Sabha associated with King Surath and Sage Medhas. Surrounded by dense greenery, ancient ruins, and serene pathways, Garh Jungle attracts pilgrims, history lovers, and nature enthusiasts throughout the year. Its location along the NH-19 (old NH-2) corridor ensures excellent road connectivity, making it an accessible weekend destination for travellers from Asansol, Durgapur, Bardhaman, and Kolkata.
