ABOUT THIKANA

The Way of Being at Thikana

Shantiniketan has always been more than a destination — it’s a rhythm, a way of being.

At Thikana, we keep that rhythm alive. The warmth of a homestay, the ease of a hotel, and the quiet of the forest come together here.

You’ll find rooms that open to green horizons, evenings touched by Baul songs, and days that leave space for your thoughts to wander.
