Khandarani Lake, nestled in the lush hills and forests of Belpahari in the Jhargram district of West Bengal, India, is a serene natural retreat that showcases the region’s pristine beauty. The lake lies near Amlasol (approximate map coordinates 22.67254° N, 86.71036° E) and is about 11 km from Belpahari village and roughly 49 km from the district headquarters Jhargram. Surrounded by forested hills — including the scenic backdrop of Gadrasini Hill — Khandarani is renowned for its tranquil water, verdant surroundings, and abundant birdlife. In winter, migratory birds like the Northern Pintail, Cotton Pygmy Goose, Pheasant‑Tailed Jacana, and many others flock here, making it a popular destination for bird-watchers and nature lovers.
