He writes in Bangala and English, which fall in the indeterminate category between fiction and non-fiction, memoir, history, and travelogue, encompassing everything from the hardships of a central Indian tribe to the aspirations of Andrei Tarkovsky. Parimal was the author of No Path in Darjeeling Is Straight, Bells of Shangri-La and Field Notes from a Waterborne Land, and Nahumer Gram (Capernaum), Dodopakhider Gaan (Song of the Dodo Birds), Apur Desh (In Apu’s Land), Dyanchinama (The Book of Damn-cheap Babus), etc. 

He went to teach at the Government College in Darjeeling in the 1990s and was smitten by the Himalayas. He has not recovered since; instead, he has written two books set in the mountains. His books have been incredibly accepted and very popular among the readers. He has created more books and literature. He has also been a regular contributor to The Telegraph and Frontier. Parimal Bhattacharya likes to divide his time between the city and Bhatpara, an ancient small town by the river Hooghly, where his ancestors had migrated four centuries ago from north India.
