What to do when at Hotel Kasturi
It always remains a concern for tourists(who are not on a package booked trip) that what are the attractions of the place. Nevertheless, they are adventurous people who do not depend on a guide but themselves, to explore the place.
Not as a guide but as a friend, we will show you the map to; what to do? We treat you not like a customer but as a friend. After all, “Visitors and guests in India are like Gods” and we feel obliged to be there for you!
Few but not limited to the list below:
Bhutan Gate(Jaigaon – Bhutan Border)
Depicting traditional Bhutanese architecture, Bhutan Gate is the main gateway for entry from India. One of the most photographed attractions, the gate demarcates the Bhutanese and the Indian territory with adjoining cities, Jaigaon and Phuentsholing.
The difference is clearly visible, in terms of architecture, municipal cleanliness and orderly planning. Take a picture of the Bhutan Gate and make it your first photograph on your trip.
Amo Chhu Crocodile Breeding Center(Phuentsholing)
The Amo Chhu Crocodile Breeding Centre is undisputedly one of the most popular places to visit in Phuentsholing. Get close to these dangerous creatures in real life, and see them snooze or feed. Of course, how close you get depends on the time you visit the breeding centre. With various species of crocodiles and alligators, it’s the place to be if you’re an animal lover.
Kharbandi Monastery
Kharbandi Monastery, or as locals call it, Kharbandi Goemba, is located at a height of 400 metres. Founded in 1967, it’s the winter residence of the Royal Grandmother, Ashi Phuntsho Choedron. The temple compound houses impressive, large statues of Shabdrung Ngawang, Guru Rinpoche and Shakyamuni Buddha. The plush garden located right outside the monastery gives a panoramic view of the Bengal Plain and the Phuentsholing town.
Eight different Tibetan Buddhist Stupas can be seen enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the garden.
According to legend, an Indian pilgrim couple visited this place and prayed for a child. The wish was granted, and since then, couples have been visiting this place in hopes of a better future.
