peaceful nature spots in Calcutta

hobbesian · Sep 5th, 2009, 14:01

Hi all,

I was looking to spend a part of Sundays / maybe some mornings at a nice peaceful spot in the city. Any suggestions?

I know of Victoria, Holticultural & botanical gardens. Maybe 2-3 places in the city and a couple within an hour's drive?

Also, would love to know about a couple of nice places by the water. Thanks.

You can try the following places :

1. Taki (by the side of Ichamati River) ... There is also a Bungalow at an Island there (Machranga Dwip)

2. Gadiara

3. Henry Island

4. Barackpore

5. Deul Park Resort ... near Panagarh

Within Kolkata, I would suggest the Lake in South Kolkata, Robindra Sarovar. Peaceful gardens for a walk or picnic. Strongly recommend in North Kolkata a visit to Belur Math, one of the most tranquil places in the city. Also, another oasis of greenery are the Jain Temples at Badridas Temple Street.

Thank you for the suggestions. Have been planning to go to Belur Math / Dakshineshwar. Will check out the Jain temple and Rabindra Sarovar and get back.

Suvadeep, I'm assuming all these places are outside Calcutta? Time for me to start googling these places.
