The leading hospitality company in India, The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), announced the launch of the Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa in Raichak, West Bengal. A heartfelt tribute to Bengal’s picturesque landscape, this riverine sanctuary is tucked away on the serene banks of the Ganges.

“Raichak, close to the meeting point of the magnificent Ganga River and the Bay of Bengal, offers a unique setting reflecting the rich essence of Bengal. With the opening of Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa, IHCL reaffirms its resolve to diversify into unique travel destinations in our nation,” said Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, IHCL.

The Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa, Raichak, is a vast 100-acre estate with 155 tastefully built rooms and suites that have a rustic appeal and peaceful views of the Ganges. Inspired by the soft rhythm of the river, the resort’s two restaurants, Machan and House of Ming, offer guests carefully designed culinary experiences. While the infinity-edge pool, outdoor pool, and state-of-the-art fitness center offer rejuvenation and recreation in addition to indoor games and outdoor sports activities, the River View Lounge and Verandah Lounge offer tranquil settings for relaxing. Additionally, the resort will be home to Taj’s renowned spa, J Wellness Circle, which offers comprehensive wellness treatments.

The Taj Ganga Kutir Resort & Spa’s more than 70,000 square feet of flexible banqueting space makes it the perfect venue for large parties, destination weddings, and business retreats.

Raichak, with its evocative fort-style architecture and riverfront beauty, is a mere 2.5-hour picturesque journey from Kolkata. In an environment that honors the ancient essence of the area, visitors can take in traditional events, stroll along rural paths, and drink Bengal’s renowned tea blends.
