Asannagar homestay

Asannagar homestay

Asannagar is a beautiful riverside village, which has recently become one of the best places to de-stress yourself after a week of hectic work in the office. You can spend your weekend simply boating on the Jhor River, reading some great books, telling stories to the village children and visiting some local attractions like the 300-year-old Maharaja Krishnachandra’s Palace, ISKCON headquarters at Mayapur, the Shiva Temple at Shibnibas and the birthplace of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu at Nabadwip. Few things, which have already started vanishing from our complex urban lives like fresh Khejurer Ras (Date Palm juice), Hansher Ghar (Duck house), Dheki (rice husker) can still be seen at Asannagar village. BOOKING DETAILS OF ASANNAGAR
