Plan your stay
A riverside retreat in the Nawabs' capital

Peace is the luxury here.

No traffic, no lobby bustle. Cottages and rooms sit in a sweep of lawn and old trees that runs down to the water. Mornings begin with birdsong and tea on your balcony; evenings end with the sun going down behind the far bank. A small team looks after you by name.

The lawn and palms at Jalchhabi Hotel & Resort, Lalbagh
The grounds

Acres of lawn, and the river at the end of it.

Room to walk, to read, to let children run. The lawn seats five hundred under the stars; on an ordinary evening it seats two, with a table set by the water.

Weddings & events
Sunset over the Bhagirathi from Jalchhabi
The river

Every room faces the light.

River-view balconies on most rooms and every premium cottage. Fishing boats in the morning, the ferry at noon, and a sunset that guests write about more than anything else.

Dinner on the lawn at night, Jalchhabi
The evening

Dinner on the grass, lights in the palms.

Taranga's Bengali kitchen brings the table outside when the weather allows. Hilsa in season, river fish year round, and the quiet to taste them.
