Embrace the Cultural Bliss of Shantiniketan

Made famous all over the world by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Shantiniketan is the cultural epicentre of Bengal.

 

Geek out at this charming town with a visit to the emblematic Viswa Bharati, explore Tagore memorabilia at the Rabindra Bhaban Museum, admire the elegance of the Kaanch Mandir, get a taste of foreign culture at the Cheena Bhavan and the Nippon Bhavan, and soak in the melodious tunes of a classic Rabindrasangeet here. The lovely town also offers scenic views by the Kopai River and the Deer Park, ideal for nature lovers. March is the best time to enjoy the famous Poush Parbon gathering here.
