Shantiniketan Tour Package

A cultural day trip or overnight package to Rabindranath Tagore’s Shantiniketan.

Shantiniketan’s university town atmosphere, Tagore’s ashram, and local handicraft markets make for a rewarding day trip or overnight stay from Kolkata.

Best Time to Visit

October to March is most comfortable, and late December (around Poush Mela) adds a major cultural fair to the trip if your dates line up.

Distance & How to Reach

Shantiniketan is around 160 km from Kolkata — about 3 hours by road, or a similar time by train to Bolpur station followed by a short local transfer.

Sample Itinerary

A day trip covers Rabindra Bhavan Museum, Kala Bhavana’s open-air art spaces, and the Sonajhuri haat (weekend rural craft market); an overnight stay allows a more relaxed pace with a Santhal village visit added.
