Seeking an escape from the relentless pace of city life? Yearn for a day surrounded by nature’s embrace and life’s simpler pleasures? Discover Sundar Gram Homestay, a tranquil haven just 28 kilometers from Kolkata’s Science City.

Who we Are

Escape the relentless city hustle and immerse yourself in the tranquil rhythms of Sundar Gram, situated a mere 28 kilometers from Kolkata’s Science City. Here, life isn’t defined by the constant rush, but by the pristine simplicity of nature and village life.

At Sundar Gram, the day begins with a rooster’s call. The picturesque setting comes alive with swaying paddies, diligent farmers, village elders sharing tales beneath the Banyan tree, and fishermen casting their nets, all viewable from the verandah of your traditional mud hut.

The homestay boasts 11 uniquely themed cottages, serene gazebos, a pond, open-air dining spaces, and vast green playgrounds. While embracing its rustic charm, Sundar Gram ensures modern amenities for guests, including electricity, power backup, 24-hour water supply, security surveillance, and WiFi. Instead of a conventional swimming pool, guests can enjoy the natural pond – perfect for swimming, angling, or simply soaking in its serenity. There’s no TV, but evenings are enriched by local storytellers and folk singers. And while continental cuisine isn’t on the menu, guests can relish authentic Bengali dishes.

What sets Sundar Gram apart is its seamless integration with village life. Guests and villagers come together to celebrate cultural festivities like Durga Puja, Basanta Utsav, Bhai Phonta, and more, making every stay a genuine cultural immersion. Join us and experience a world where tradition meets comfort.

Mission

At Sundar Gram, our mission is to offer a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with nature, immerse in the authenticity of village life, and experience the rich tapestry of Bengali culture. We are committed to preserving the traditions and values of our community while ensuring modern comforts for every guest.

Our vision is to create a harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary amenities, fostering genuine interactions and creating memories that last a lifetime. Together, we celebrate life’s simpler moments and the age-old tales of our land.

Milestones

We will have expanded our cottages by 25% while maintaining our commitment to sustainability. Through active partnerships with local artisans, we aim to make Sundar Gram a hub for traditional art and craft workshops, fortifying our position not just as a retreat, but as a living museum of Bengali traditions.

By emphasizing sustainable tourism, we also aspire to uplift our local community, offering employment opportunities and funneling a portion of our profits into village infrastructure and educational projects.
