Meet our Trip Representative, then start your Day Trip . Santiniketan, located in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, India. It is a small town near Bolpur nearly 3 hours from Kolkata. Santiniketan was established by the famous Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. His vision transformed it into a university town, with Visva Bharati University at its fourfold. It has grown to become one of India’s most renowned places of higher learning. Santiniketan is also a world-renowned tourist attraction because Rabindranath Tagore wrote many of his literary classics here; his house is a place of historic importance. Santiniketan was earlier called Bhubandanga (named after Bhuban Dakat, a local dacoit), and was owned by the Tagore family. In 1862, Maharshi Devendranath Tagore, while on a boat journey to Raipur, came across a landscape with red soil and meadows of lush green paddy fields. Rows of chhatim trees and date palms charmed him. He stopped to look, decided to plant more saplings and built a small house. He renamed it as Santiniketan. Santiniketan means abode (niketan) of peace (shanti). Santiniketan became a spiritual centre where people from all religions were invited to join for meditation and prayers. He founded an ‘Ashram’ here in 1863 and became the initiator of the Brahmo Samaj. Airconditioned Car for Transport with Free Wifi and Knowledgeable Car Driver
