Spent 2 nights at this immaculately maintained heritage mansion which is truly steeped in history, specially pertaining to the period of Bengal Renaissance....the Partition and beyond. The mansion is right on the Ganges with a spectacular view of the river and is an oasis of peace and tranquility. The team members at the Nihar on the Ganges go out of the way to make the guests comfortable. Thanks to Mr. Ranjit Nair for taking such good care of the guests and to Chef Anup Das for preparing high quality Bengali, Indian and Continental dishes as per the requirements of the guests. Looking forward to visit the property once again, definitely for the solitude & also for the collection of books, some of which I haven't come across since my childhood!! ~ Hiranmoy D
We stayed at this location for a couple days over a weekend. This place has serene views of the Ganges with excellent accommodations and great food. The place is well maintained decorated with nostalgic items with old world feel spread across the property. We came with a need to relax and get a taste of the Bengali way of life from years gone. We relived the experience at this property with the excellent care provided by the ever helpful staff. We would like to thank Anup for the excellent Bengali delicacies he cooked based on our request.The other staff Kush and Babul were extremely warm and caring and catered to all our needs during our stay. We would strongly recommend for folks to come travel and stay at Nihar to get a taste of Bengali way of living and it’s culture. ~ Mamata
Had a great experience during our stay of 2 nights at the property. Well maintained and beautiful property located right at the bank of the river. The sunset view is especially lovely. Plenty of outdoor and indoor activities to spend time and relax. The decor was very tasteful giving an old world charm. Hospitality was great- staff were very courteous and made sure all our needs were taken care of. Food was very tasty- we ordered mostly from their set menu. Shoutout to chef Anup and Nair ji. Couple of improvement areas could be expanding the menu a bit further (or coming up with suggestions) and keeping some of the internal staff commotions separate from the guest areas. But the overall stay was great and would totally recommend this place. ~ Sankha B
