About East-Medinipur Tourism
East Medinipur is a district in the state of West Bengal with its headquarters located at
Tamluk. It was granted independent district status in 2002 after the Partition
of Midnapore, which created East and West
Medinipur. It has been further divided into the sub
districts of Tamluk, Egra, Haldia and Contai. The scenic district
is named after the tribal deity, Medinimata. With centuries of legacy and
heritage, the scenic district has also been an ancient marine trade center at
Tamluk or Tamralipta, which means full of Copper. The district is
rich in mineral resources and home to numerous mining companies. Apart from
that, East Medinipur has carved a niche for itself as one of the best tourist
places in West Bengal.
Verdant dense forests, rivers and rivulets that run through the district make
it a vacation spot right in the lap of Nature. It has something
for everyone, from temples to forests, so if you are here on a pilgrimage or a
wildlife adventure to bird watching or simply relaxing, East Medinipur is waiting for you to explore
its destinations, sample the cuisine and carry back fond memories.
