  • The description is too short. Susunia Hill is a known archeological and fossil site. Fossil remains of Lion, Giraffe, Hyaena and many other animal species have been discovered from areas around. The so claimed 'oldest' rock inscription of West Bengal is located here. There is an ancient curved monolith (the so called NARASINGHA stone) standing at the point where the spring water is coming out of another stone gargoyle or curved projected spout. It is a very good location for camping and rock-climbing. Susunia village itself is home to honoured master craftsmen of exquisite stone-carving.
  • Thanks a lot for your valued information. I have edited the page as per your info.
  • Susunia hill is very attractive to me. It looks so alluring to strangers. Thanks for the informations. By the way I like the people of Susunia. Once I loved a Swati there. She haunts me still now.
