A secluded village, often called the "Valley of Flowers" of West Bengal. During the months of January-March, the fields are full of flower species like marigolds, chrysanthemums, tuberose and gladiolus. The remote view of a train passing through the colourful valley can remind one of Bengali classics like Pather Panchali, despite not being shot here.
The Valley of Flowers Khirai is nestled in the upper expanses of Kansai near Khirai railway station in the Panskura region of India. The lower reaches of Kansai near Dokanda village is known as Kansai Valley. The Valley of Flowers is in the Dokanda valley. It lies between 22° 38' to 22° 22'N and 87° 71' to 87° 41'E.
