Why this order works

The three stops sit on one western arc, and finishing at the reservoir puts the return leg on the better road before dusk.

Meal, fuel and toilet anchors

  • Fuel: Jhargram town before departure.
  • Toilets: plan around Jhargram and Belpahari.

Avoid if

  • Any part of this route after dark.
  • Monsoon, when rock surfaces at Ghagra are genuinely dangerous.
