Nimpith - Kaikhali

A place near Sundarbans on the bank of Matla river. Only option to stay there is The Ramkrishna Mision Ashram Guest House. Having no Electricity with blowing wind all the time, breathtaking view of vast Matla river. The distance from Kolkata is around 80Kms and takes around 1 and half hours by road. The driving direction is EM Bypass > Kamalgaji  > Baruipur Level Crossing > Dakshin Barasat > Joynagar > Nimpith > Jamtola > Kaikhali.  We first visited to Nimpith Ramakrishna Ashram, the way we were welcomed was amazingly heart-warming.Quickly we were allotted a room and asked to freshen up. After about half an hour when the call for lunch came, we were taken to a nearby building. After a sumptuous lunch and a short afternoon nap, we set out to our final destination – Kaikhali.

Shantiniketan

Shantiniketan is a much visited place though, but in this trip our stay in Jiraan resort was indeed relaxing and rejuvenating in an absolute rural ambiance  . Jiraan is located at Kamarpara village in Birbhum district, West Bengal. On the highway between Bolpur and Ilambazar, right after BITM college comes Kamarpara bus-stop and the gates of Jiraan-The Retreat.
