The spectacular rolling hills and the lush greenery of the Dalma Hills that surround the village make it an enchanting destination.
The Dalma Forest, which is in close proximity to Duarsini, is home to a plethora of wildlife such as bears, wolves, boars, and a wide variety of bird species, some of which may not be known to many. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a herd of migrating elephants emerging from the forest into Duarsini.
