2 Nights in Tagore Town

Arrive at Bolpur. Check in at your Santiniketan accommodation. You will first have a guided visit of the Tagore Ashram — the residence of Rabindranath Tagore, which is filled with personal artefacts, poetic life and history. Then take a tour through the Visva Bharati Universitycampus, where education blends with nature, art, and philosophy.

After breakfast, start your day with a look through the handmade wonders of Amar Kutir, a cooperative dedicated to Bengal’s traditional crafts. After looking through Amar Kutir you will enjoy a visit to the Shonajhuri haat, a weekly market in a small clearing in the forest, and browse the handmade textiles, jewellery, and terracotta goods that tribal artisans sell. As the sun sets, you can enjoy a live performance of Baul folk music under the stars. This music providing a raw and spiritual celebration of life and love.

For those want to get an early start, an optional guided visit to a local Santhali tribal village is available, so you can observe life in the village, meet the locals, see how they live, and soak in the richness of their culture and age-old traditions. After breakfast, check out of the hotel and make your way home with the spirit of Santiniketan in your heart.
