We have heard a lot about this place from both travel magazines, youtube bloggers and celebrities, shooting as well as staying at this havelli. So we have thought of taking a peep to check out what's this craze is all about. On the eve of my birthday, we have decided to stay for a night at the luxurious Zamindar havelli (mansion).Likewise, we booked our room with 10k.
Located about an hour and thirty from Kolkata, The Rajbari Bawali is a 300- year-old boutique heritage property that has been elegantly turned into the best luxury heritage resort near Kolkata. It is an excellent option for weekend staycation. We also have checked out many antique jewellery sets, earrings, neck piece, shawls, dupattas and sarees as well.
Strolling around the 4 acres of royalty, one can witness the magnificient beauty in the form of huge swimming pool, luxurious rooms, open balcony or called as "Gari Verandah" and a huge "Nath Mandir" or can be called as "Durga Dalan"- where once the worship of Goddess Durga took place. The tantalizing food and beverages at the piano room would be definitely a treat for both taste buds and eyes.
The rooms are laced with pleasing interiors that include carved antique four- poster beds, plush furniture, marble floor, enormously spacious bathrooms and state of the art modern amenities. The names of these rooms are as follows classic heritage, Notun Bari ( pond view), Zamindari suite, Royal Suite, Dak Bunglow and Notun Dak Bunglow. There is a pond in the midst of the garden. Lots of fishes and swans can be seen floating- swimming in the green-coloured water.
Beautiful swimming pool is another site of attraction. For the lunch, one can enjoy the traditional Thali - Veg or Non- Veg. The quality of the food was very mouth-watering. But the snacks and dinner, one has to decide from their various cuisine options - like special Mughlai, British, Portuguese, Armenians, Jewish and Bangladeshi touch.
Breakfast is totally complimentary and served as buffet containing both Bengali and English menu - unlimited. At night, cultural performance has been organised along with the narration of the historic significance of the Mondal Dynasty of Bawali, dated back over four hundred years. The story is passed down in the great oral tradition of Indian story- telling from generation to generation. Nowadays, apart from making it into a profitable hotel business, the Rajbari maintainance authority lends the cite for movie shooting as well as ad campaign purpose.
HOW TO BOOK???????
They both have the option of booking online. 1. Make my trip and 2. Through their official website. http://therajbari.com. The tariff of the rooms can be checked out on their website.
To have a Zamindari feel, one must plan for spending some time in this Rajbari to witness their splendour lifestyle and culture
