The place is very famous for its superb natural beauty.

Our story

My husband and I went to Mukutmanipur in August 2011. We had planned to stay in The Peerless Resort. The resort itself was very beautiful, extremely friendly staff. They have 19 rooms. We got a cottage that was separated from the other accommodations and which faced the beautiful Kangshabati river.

 Room No. 11 is the best located room in the resort if you are  travelling with your partner.

There was a badminton court, chess court in the resort, an activity room where you could play carrom or read books etc.

Bicycles with gears are available on hire in the resort which is the best way to browse the beautiful locale and the roads are absolutely fantastic. It is an hilly area.

Bankura as we all know is famous for its terracota work so you  could also do some teeny weeny shopping for home or  gifts for your friends back here.
