Take a weekend break at Neel Kothi or Indigo House, a heritage homestay in a 200-year-old mansion in the middle of what used to be indigo plantations in the Raj era. Located in Nabadwip in Nadia district, it has 16-acres of orchards and farmlands around. The antique furniture, Lazarus snooker table, the antlers on the wall, and the vast columns will give you major Downtown Abbey feels. Rooms are priced between INR 3,500 to INR 4,500 (per night for double occupancy, including breakfast). Play snooker or billiards on the vintage table made by Lazarus & Company, or try your hand at darts, ping pong and carrom. Even an early morning cruise on the River Jalangi sounds serene.
