My Heartland

Santiniketan situated in Bolpur. It is 4hrs far from Kolkata. If anyone have a day off they can visit this place. It is where the Visvabharati university situated. Which was established by Rabindranath Tagore. Pous mela and Dol utsav are the great festival among many festival. Sonarjhuri or khoai and the university campus are main destinations of people. Every saturday sit fair at sonarjhuri where can buy handmade local products.


This place has good hotels and places to eat and stay at astonishing sonarjhuri. Where only one thing you can collect that is Peace. So welcome to Gurudev's ground and feel the heartiness.

This is a place where you can find real natural peace. Its a simple way to reach at bolpur. Throughout. A day there are many trains are available from howrah station. It takes 3 hours to reach from howrah via train journey.


Hotels can be found easily by a rickshaw picked up from the rail station, however hotels are little bit of costly.


Places of interest:


Viswabharati, place of Rabindranath Tagore,


Rabindranath Tagore's house,


Bolpur chimney resturent is a famous resturent, you can try mutton biriyani over here which tastes awesome.


Some shopping areas.


Natural beauty of birbhum district.

Santiniketan can be reached by rail from howrah. Many trains are available throughout the day. And drop at Santiniketan station. Then a van will ferry you till your hotel. There are quiet a few hotels and resorts to choose from. The tariff is little bit on the higher side.


You can see the Vishwa Bharati University founded by Rabindranath Tagore and also see his house. There is a zoo but one won't find many animals there.


This place is in the backdrop of village. Its a rural town which is developing now. You can visit if you want to freshen up you mind and soul. My heart belongs to here. Its a perfect weekend destination.
