Mohor Bari Homestay

A complete home staying experience. The spacious rooms are clean with required amenities. The cozy house is so enchanting. An evening lazy walk down the Purbapally roads gives the age old smell to true Shantiniketan. The chirping of birds is the alarm here in the morning. Sitting quietly on the roof at night is an experience. Ratanpally bazar is just a five minute walk. And last but the most important is the hospitality extended by the host Hirak and the food that is prepared by Jharna and others under his supervision. That is absolutely mind blowing. A very pleasant and absolutely "shantiniketan" experience.

"Mohor" Bari is a synthesis of many things.|The memories of a family with deep roots in Rabindranath's Shantiniketan, with very close association with one of the greatest Rabindrasangeet singers of all time - Kanika Bandyopadhyay - aka Mohor Di. This was her father's home, and she spent her formative years in this house.|The present owner, Hirak Mukherjee, has done a wonderful job of converting this old and quaint house into a homestay with modern amenities, losing none of the old charm. I can write a lot about that.|The staff, basically the cooks we interacted with, were so caring and homely, especially the morning Didi. They made it a home away from home. The food was homely but delicious and Hirak was disappointed that we are not big eaters. The lunch on day 1 was a teaser of things that they can put on the table.|Hirak is a chilled and warm host with a golden baritone singing voice. Chatting with him over tea about old and new Shantiniketan, his aunt Kanika, his extended family was incredible. And an impromptu musical session one evening with him singing Ghazals (!!) and other songs, along with his strumming friend, was the big bonus of our stay.|We will be back again!

The whole building is kept very clean. It is very nice talking with the owner Hirak Babu. Location is very near to the heart of shantiniketan. However, the best part is that the mutton served was something which you can't forget in your whole life. It's really good.

If you are coming here thinking you will stay in a hotel, then this place is not suitable for you. If you feel that you want to stay in a place amidst nature, where nature speaks to you, then this spot is perfect for you. If you understand the importance of the presence of a home and everything it brings, then this house is the most beautiful place for you to stay. Because, to stay in Shantiniketan, the first thing that captures our attention is nature. We must stay in a place where nature blends with us and becomes one. In this house, you will feel that experience 100%.

We had a very pleasant stay in Mohor bari. In walking distance from Visvabharati university, this homestay has a calm homely vibe. The property is very aesthetic, there are lots of books to read , so perfect for any book lover out there. Specially have to mention super tasty homemade dishes we had here.
