How can we leave out Shantiniketan when talking about road trips? Visit this place that was once home to Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. His home has now been converted into a university while the entire place is a haven for tourists from across the world for its beauty and historic significance. Get your hands on a lot of handicrafts and listen to bawl singers hum melodious tunes. We also recommend trying the rice beer, a local drink served warm and tastes yum.
