Raichak, West Bengal, December 12, 2025: Tucked away down a quiet, tranquil trail, the Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa at Raichak is a riverine sanctuary to experience Bengal’s idyllic countryside. Banked meditatively on the edge of the Ganges with its assortment of artful residences, experiences and landscape, here you stay in a fluid state-between idyll and adventure. Part of a larger 100-acre commune and estate, this is where Bengal’s sublime country life meets refined comfort.
Just a 2.5-hour drive from Kolkata through Joka and 24 Parganas, the journey itself is a gentle prelude to the calm that awaits. This resort in Raichak unfolds in layers — meandering pathways, thoughtful architecture, and artful quarters that celebrate the land and river.
THE STORY OF RAICHAK
Raichak is where the story of Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa begins. Once a prominent port-harbour near Calcutta for Jute trading, it was established as an outpost by the East India Co. This since then, has been reimagined as a riverside habitat and commune.The lush countryside, private residences, old 18th century fort structures,
fishing hamlets, sentinel clock-towers, meadows and idyllic gardens – all of them are a part of this commune that comes together with a languor that evokes nostalgia for the country-life.
