Bishnupur Tourist Lodge

West Bengal


This cheerful, pink-painted, government-run hotel, fronted by grassy lawns, has adequately comfortable, pastel-shaded rooms and a good restaurant, plus a bar. It’s close to the Rasmancha temple, and an ₹80 rickshaw ride from the train station. It’s often full, so try to book ahead through the website (requires registering but not impossible).
