As a tourist I loved it. They also sell rabri and doi here and there in the campus area. You get the vibe the feel and everything you need and hope, afterall rabindranath thakur and his essence is everywhere. People are also peaceful, warm and kind. Absolutely wonderful, worth visiting. Chhatimtala, 5 houses of tagore, the museum, taalgach, and much more to see. Please take a guide they ll tell stories and history..

It was an amazing experience to visit the memorials and buildings once created by Rabindranath Tagore and his father Debendranath Tagore. From the place where Debendranath Tagore found peace (chatimtala) to the tree where Rabindranath Tagore started teaching kids under the clear blue sky, everything was so mesmerizing, we were absolutely taken back to those times. We visited the 5 massive palaces built by Rabindranath Tagore and various departments like Arts and Music. Although we were'nt allowed inside due to some restrictions, we clicked a lot of pictures and enjoyed our stay at Santiniketan. Looking forward to visit one more time.
