Baranti, a small tribal village located in Purulia district’s Raghunathpur subdivision, beside Baranti Lake is a growing tourist destination.

There are plenty of hotels in Baranti to choose from to plan the days to visit different places.
These geographical facts aside, Baranti is characterized by a landscape of stunning beauty and the sunset's magnificent charm over the lake. Under the Ramchandrapur Medium Irrigation Project on the Baranti River, the lake is a reservoir. The area became popular for its hill and jungle trekking, but the destination is renowned for a few other attractive sites. Only 12 km away is Garh Panchkot. Joychandi Pahar is only about 21 km from Baranti, where legend Satyajit Ray's Bengali iconic movie "Hirak Rajar Deshe" was shot. The "Araku Valley of Bengal" or Biharinath is at 18km distance.

Enriched lush forests of Piyal, Sal, Teak, and Mahua trees add to the natural beauty of Baranti. Uncountable migratory birds take pleasure to throng the reservoir during the winters. Besides the wild rabbits and boars, you shall come across deer grazing throughout the hills. Rarh countryside is surrounded by such natural delicate wealth where you can at ease fix a modest picnic, or else have fun hiking, trekking and wandering through the green hills.
Driving up to Panchet and Maithon Dam, you can well get soaked into the charms of the rivers. Raghunathpur Village is another attraction from where you can easily purchase tussar silk sarees.
