About this trip
Experience Shantiniketan around its festival season — culture, colour and local celebration, planned to the calendar. Shantiniketan, the tranquil town Rabindranath Tagore made the home of his open-air university Visva-Bharati, is a UNESCO-recognised centre of art, learning and Bengali culture. Its mural-covered buildings, the weekly Sonajhuri "khoai" craft market and the joyous Poush Mela and Basanta Utsav festivals give it a gentle, creative soul. Across four nights the festivals & culture theme runs right through Shantiniketan and nearby — its core experiences unrushed, a flexible day for an excursion or a slower pace, and room to follow the trip where it leads. Days lean towards the local festival calendar, its colour, ceremony and timing. Pricing is on enquiry, and every detail — the exact day plan, the theme extras and the hotels — is tailored with you and confirmed at quotation.
