Overview:
To getaway for the weekend and break the monotony of your hectic life, you have to look no further than the small town of Taki. Located on the banks of the Ichamati River, the region is close to the border of Bangladesh. It is a perfectly quaint little picnic spot 70kms away from Kolkata, where you can also plan to spend a night and enjoy the perks of staying near the river by treating your tastebuds with fresh fishes in your meals, the pollution-free and quiet serenity of the ambience and the charming boat rides.
Day to Day Travel Slate:
Day1:
Taki is about a 2.5Hrs (70Kms) drive from Kolkata. On arrival, you will check-in to a heritage house or resort to spend the night.
After settling down, you will be out for the rest of the day, taking a tour around the town. Being close to Bangladesh, a boat ride on the Ichamati River will give you a closer view of the neighbouring country. If you appreciate boat rides, then you can also take one to the Machranga island.
After your sailing experience, the one next adventure waiting for you is in the Golpatar Jungle. Taking a walk through the jungle on a recently made canopy pathway will turn your stroll into a thrilling event. Post your jungle safari; you can travel back in time and witness the vintage architecture in the remains of the old zamindar houses, the 300years old Jora Shiv Mandir, the Kaleshwari Kali Temple, and Ramakrishna Mission.
In the afternoon, you will come back to the resort for a while to enjoy and savour the deliciousness of the perfectly cooked Bengali meal. As the town is located on the banks of Ichamati River, you will be served with fresh water fishes like Hilsa, Rohu, Parshe, Pabda, and Prawn. Apart from the fishes, you will also get chicken and mutton. But no meal is complete without some mouth-watering desserts, and one of the ‘-have’ desserts of this place is the famous “Chanar Malpoa” which you can’t miss.
After a good lunch, you can take a walk in the evening near the Ichamati river and enjoy the cool breeze and the place’s serenity. At night you will have your dinner at the resort and spend the night in Taki.
Day2:
The next day after having your breakfast at the resort, you will check-out and be on your way back to Kolkata after a rejuvenating overnight trip.
