What is the Best Time for Shantiniketan Day Tour?
Monsoon and Winter: The best time to visit Shantiniketan is either during the monsoon or winter months, which is between July and February. This is due to the comparatively pleasant and cool weather one gets to enjoy during these months as opposed to the high temperatures during spring and summers. Also, one gets to attend the many fairs held during this time. The rainfall is moderate here with light showers and overcast in Shantiniketan except for the days when there is heavy rainfall. Shantiniketan is best explored on foot.

Poush Mela: The festival of music and craft, Posh Mela is organised between December and January. It is celebrated on the Foundation Day of the University.

Basant Utsab (Basant Festival): The Basant Utsav is organised during Holi and is quite an affair at Shantiniketan.

Food Trail of Shantiniketan

Banalakshmi is an authentic place which offers local cuisine and is famous for its homely Bengali menu.

Kasahara is a food place inside the Sangeet Bhavan of Visva Bharati which is rather famous for its choices for lunches ranging from Bengali to Chinese cuisine. This café was established by Debojit Roy in the year 2015 in honor of the Japanese artist, Kim Taro Kasahara, who is known for his immense contribution to Shantiniketan.

Tanzil and Pyala café is one happening place for evening hangouts in Bolpur. It is a boutique cum café. The café offers Bengali snacks ranging from ghugni to chicken chop and egg chop along with steaming cups of tea or coffee.

Places to visit near Shantiniketan

1. Bishnupur: A quaint town in Bankura district of Indian state of West Bengal, Bishnupur is the land of terracotta Temples, School of Hindustani Music and Baluchari Sarees. The town’s unique architecture developed along with its art, music and handicrafts including pottery and weaving.

The town prospered under the reign of Hindu Rajas of the Malla dynasty and is considered to be the only destination for the most brilliant terracotta work in the whole of Eastern India which continues to prevail. The terracotta works on the tiles depict stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata.

2. Nabadwip: Located on the western banks of Hooghly River, in the Nadia district in West Bengal, 76 kilometres from Shantiniketan, Nabadwip is the holy birth city of the great Vaishnava Saint of Bhakti movement, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It is believed to have been founded in 1608 CE and was the old capital of the Sena dynasty between 1159 to 1206, during the reigns of Ballal Sen and Lakshman Sen. The city is famous for its Raas Utsav (Raas Festival). With moderate summers and winters, the weather of Nabadwip is otherwise pleasant.

3. Bardhaman / Burdwan: At a distance of 53 kilometres from Shantiniketan, Bardhaman is a district famous for the Maithon Dam reservoir located in Asansol, Meghnad Saha Planetarium, Burdwan Science Centre and Krishnasayer Ecological Park.

4. Durgapur: Famously called the ‘Steel Capital of East India’, Durgapur is a city in West Burdwan district in the Indian State of West Bengal by the banks of River Damodar, which is also known as ‘Sorrow of Bengal’. As they say, it takes a true blue traveller to explore the most unexplored and trivial places on the earth. Durgapur would ace that list due to its unlikely places of visit starting from the steel plant to numerous temples, woods, parks, heritage monuments like Bhabani Pathak’s Tilla, the famous Durgapur Barrage which was constructed to manage the flow of mighty Damodar during monsoon, and Garh Jungle which has a significant history of being the oldest places in the country where worship of Goddess Durga had begun.
