This canyon is a 70 feet deep natural canyon created by river Shilabati, accompanied by the wind - over a million of years. The laterite surface has been transformed to cliffs, pillars, caves by nature.

How to visit Gangani : The nearest airport is Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) in Kolkata.
The nearest train station to Gangani is Garbeta. One can hire a car from Kolkata to directly reach Gangani, or may choose to reach Garbeta by train and then car/e-rickshaw to Gangani.

The canyon becomes red during dawn and dusk. The sunset over the river Shilabati is a moment to remember.
