"Visit To Krishna Nagar"

Posted by Sabir

Jun 03, 2009

Krishnanagar Experience: Krishna Nagar is the district Head of Nadia. A total population of 1 million with a historical background is the essence of this place. This place is popular for Sweets and Mud Sculpture.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Krishna Nagar has lots of places to stay near station and some of them near Judges Court. Rent varies from 150-500 INR. None of these are up to the mark. The best place to stay is Govt. Circuit House. You have to book in advance for this. There are a handful of restaurants in Krishna Nagar. ' Haveli' opposite to Judges court is the best of the lot. But that is too not up to the mark. The food is good but not the ambience. One should not miss visiting the Ghurni, a Mud Sculpture Hub where you will found some world class show pieces at reasonable price. Krishna Nagar is not a tourist spot but surely one can go to the following places 1. Krishna Chandra Roy's Palace. though not very well maintained but a palace is a palace.. 2. River bank of Jalangi 3. Cathedral Church- a beautiful church 4. Horticulture

Activities & things to do: One can do small trips surrounding Krishna Nagar such as Mayapur, Bethua Douri Forest, Bahadurpur Forest or even Murshidabad.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Best way to reach Krishna Nagar is by train. It is 100 Kms from Sealdah Station. Trains are available at regular intervals.
