Shantiniketan Tour Packages India

It's known to few, mostly as the birthplace of Rabindranath Tagore and now a university, Santiniketan is a small town located in West Bengal's Birbhum district. The town consists mainly of the University of Visva Bharati. Sections of this complex are now open to tourists including the Uttarayan complex which houses the belongings of Tagore and other related paraphernalia. 

Rabindranath Tagore's father set up the University and later popularized it to radically change the idea of education in India. Today, this beautifully laid out university and the small sleepy city has acquired the reputation of a special tourist haven, where lines of information and architectural creativity converge.

In addition to the university, Santiniketan has a lot to do. At a private museum near the Sonajhuri forest, you can see natural rock sculptures in the open-air park. Check out the town's festive calendar for a true, authentic feel of Bengal and join the celebrations. Enthusiasts of photography can't miss Khowai. This is a massive piece of land that has, over time, given way to gullies because of erosion. The whole image becomes a colorful canvas in the rainy season. Santiniketan has a lot to shop about. To remember this beautiful place, take home pickles, Kantha sarees, wood products, paintings, and savory.
