Dhuturdaha is a quiet, placid parish that is 51 kms from Kolkata, a village with endless stretches of "Bheri" or fishing lakes. The vegetable precincts, stretches of leaf fringed ponds, palm trees, mango groves and the temples coloured by the local hues all seem to justify the rural picturesque scenario of Dhuturdaha. The region is even mapped by the diverse shades of the rustic lives and has a bit of poetic indulgence. Dhuturdaha promises the solitary lackadaisical environment where a tired soul can just relax watching the vast incessant, infinite skies over the checked layered green horizon, get together with one`s family and friends beside the pond, and indulge in the act of fishing.
Dhuturdaha not only promises the beautiful serenity as the background rather one can find some of the best resorts in and around Kolkata with the modern facilities like AC rooms, swimming pools, landscaped gardens, dining halls, conference rooms, gazebos within water and all other amenities which make one`s life comfortable. Dhuturdaha is an ideal unification of historic ethnic charm with modern facilities.
