Shantiniketon was always a dream place for me. Shantiniketon is a name which takes me back to an era of famous cultural importance and heritage.
We travelled from Sealdah station by train in an AC compartment and reached Bolpur station after 3 hours. Muzaffar hired a taxi and took us to the most significant places of Shatiniketon. Chatimtala, Visva Bharati University, Rabindra Bhaban, Rabidranath Tagores five houses, Museum, Amarkutir, Srijani Shilpagram, Sonajhuri forest and many other places were in our itinerary.
Muzaffar was the perfect tour guide for my friends and I. He impressed us with his knowledge of Kolkatan culture and history. He was generous with his time too, offering to take photos for us, recommending nice places to eat and have coffee, and being flexible with our schedule. I would highly recommend Shantiniketon, with Muzaffar as the tour guide, to any travellers interested in exploring the Kolkata region.
