Dear Joy,

Wildlife Sanctuary. This famous sanctuary is situated near Raiganj town in the Uttar
Dinajpur District in the state of West Bengal. It is also popularly known as
Kulik Bird Sanctuary because the river of the same name (Kulik) flows around
the sanctuary. You'll be pleased to see species like kadam, jarul, shisoo and
eucalyptus. You’ll find kites, flycatchers, owls, kingfishers, woodpeckers,
drongoes and other resident birds at the sanctuary.

good experience

With regards to your father
and mother.
Yours ever,
Joy Karmakar
