Welcome to Pous mela at Bolpur Santiniketan
A weekend Trip To Shantiniketan:
Good morning. Welcome to Bolpur Santiniketan….
Bolpur-Santineketan is one of the perfect weekend gateway destinations for the people who are eagar to travel. It’s a great relief from metropolitan’s delirious pace and pollution. It is 145km away from Kolkata. the main attraction of the place. It is an International University and a great center of Oriental education and culture. The scenic beauty is awesome. From the Kopai bridge you can only find greenery and the river flows bisecting the village. I am sure you will enjoy the weekend tour. Shantiniketan is well connected to Kolkata via road and railways. The nearest station is Bolpur. they might arrange
for a special conducted tour during Pous mela /Christmas Eve. obviously trains are the best option to go to Bolpur Station. If you wish to freshen up after you reach at Bolpur in the morning (if you choose Ganadevta Exp)
Shantiniketan (West Bengal),The place of Culture
The beautiful (শান্তিনিকেতন )Shantiniketan
শান্তিনিকেতন in the Birbhum District is a land of red soil with lush green paddy fields. The main attraction of this place remains because of its association with Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), one of Bengal’s greatest figures. Of course the natural charm of Santiniketan is a major draw in itself. Nature has bestowed her splendour through the lavish greenery everywhere. Truly as the name suggested by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore (RabindranathaTagore’s father) it is the ‘abode of peace’. Home at Santiniketan would surely mean a peaceful residential neighbourhood amidst the natural beauty all around. Santiniketan is also home to Amartya Sen, the 1998 Nobel Prize winner in Economics.
