I being a travel maniac cannot bind myself at home for a long time so I along with my husband ad daughter always plan out for a trip whether it’s a short trip or long.On August,2017, we planned for 1N2D trip to Tajpur.Its a 6hrs drive from Kolkata,Just 173kms away from Kolkata.Sowe decided to go by our personal car.
Early start is the best start to avoid the hastle on road and so we started at around 6am,drove through Vigyasagar setu and fianlly though Bombay Road.
The road though it’s a highway but quite congested.We faced intermittent showers that day while driving so naturally we could not drove fast due to shower and conjetion on the road.After driving for 2 hrs we stooped on an eatery named Azad Hind Dhaba for breakfast.Thefood was awesome..We had Aloo paratha and Chana along with lassi.The food and the ambience was awesome.
Suddenly heavy showers started to fall and its very difficult to drive but as we were already laate due to traffic we bound to start our journey through rains.After driving for 1 hour the houses and the traffic started to become lesser and lesserand the what we have observed were paddy fields on both sides of the road.The nature was beautiful.There were greeneries all around.
The weather was very bad.It was cloudy and dull so the clarity was lacking.We had a second stop at Kolaghat.Kolaghat is a famous tourist destination and a census town on the banks of Rupnarayan river.Manyhotels and eateries had grown up in this spot to provide the tourist some good facilities.We stopped there and had a cup of tea inShere-Punjab Dhaba,the famous dhaba in Kolaghat..The Rupnarayan is fantastic.You can spend for more than few hours looking simply the boats and small ships going to and fro down the river.Anyways,after that we again started our journey towards our destination.We crossed Haldia in Medinipur,drove 1hour before reaching the point where one road went to Kharagpur which was straight and another right hand side,towards Tajpur.We took the Tajpur road.
We reached finally at around 1.30pm.We were definitely late.So we hurriedly freshned up,ordered our lunch.But I promised my daughter that we would have a bath in the sea.So without wasting any time we rushed towars the sea beach,the still virgin beach of Medinipur.Therewere small tea and eatery stalls where we sat looking into the vast waterbody and had beer and egg scramble.It was just awesome.Thecool breeze was just mind blowing.You can walk all through the beach or take your car and drive through the beautiful beach.you can see the casuarina trees all around the beach.We had a bath in the sea for an hour or so then.My daughter was not in a mood to return to the hotel.She was continuously doing something with the wet sand.So we stayed for another 1 hour but the bad luck was prevailing.We saw the black clouds coming and after a few minutes rain started.It was heavily pouring but you see,watching rains on the beach was a different experience.tne water droplets falling on the sea makes the sea more beautiful.The whole atmosphere became electrifying.we ordered another botthle of beer after finishing one.so we were have a beautiful holiday time.After spending a lond time we had to go back to the hotel for our lunch.So we returned,had lunch there.The food was very mouth watering.The hospitality of the manager was very good.Therooms were clean and cosy.There were innumerable hotels growing up in Tajpur.Its is becoming a booming tourist destination.
We again went to the beach in the afternoon.For the whole day the drizzle was going on.So we held our umbrellas over our head and walked all though the long stretch of the beach.It was so fresh and calm.U can find yourself just sitting and watching the sunrise or sunset.There were small fisherman boats which looked so small.Tajpur is famous for red crabs.You can see the crabs on the beach and if yu want to come near to them they will go inside the small holes the make to protect themselves from the people.The whole beach looks reddish from far behind.It was just a beautiful experience but we were unfortunate to feel this experience due to the showers.They didn’t come up to the beach from their holes.
So our trip was on the verge of finishing.In the next morning after having breakfast we started our return journey for planning our next trip.
Great post.
