5 Resorts Near Kolkata That Are Perfect For A Weekend Getaway

The first long weekend of this year is here and we could not be more excited. Okay fine, maybe you’ll need to take leave on Friday, but we’re sure you can wing it, given that you’ll get 4 whole days of a mini vacation! You can’t really explore a place over a weekend and the ideal thing to do is book a luxurious staycation. And if you are in the sweet land of Kolkata, then switch off from your social media feeds and head to one of these classy resorts that are a short drive away for some much-needed R&R.

PS: Don’t worry Mumbaikars and Delhites, we already have you sorted!
