    It was a great one day excursion by car. The trip was a bit long but seating was comfortable. We were picked up from our hotel by the friendly, experienced driver. The exceptional archaeological sites at Bishnupur were very well presented by our well educated guide. As there was a local festival on the day, there was a lot of traffic and our generous guide offered to take us around the different temples throught the narrow streets with a small local carriage. What a nice sperience. The lunch we had was simple and tasted good. Thank you very much!

    Very interesting and unique terracotta temples and an excellent tour guide. It was a long trip - 4 hours each way - due to poor roads and congestion. Good day trip if you have extra time in Kolkota. Surprised admission and lunch weren't included.
