It
is
now
renamed
as
MANGALDHARA
TOURIST
PROPERTY
managed
by
the
WBTDCL.
Booking
can
be
done
online
through
the
website
or
offline
in
the
WBTDCL
office
in
Salt
lake
or
Esplanade.
A
good
get
away
for
family
and
friends
near
Kolkata.
Located
on
the
banks
of
Hoogly
river
and
river
facing
rooms
are
the
best
options.Good
view
of
the
river.They
have
procured
boats
and
boating
should
commence
soon
once
tariff
is
finalised
by
the
tourist
department
of
West
Bengal.
The
food
is
average
as
is
the
service,
but
considering
the
cost
it's
cost
effective.
Better
to
order
early
and
gently
remind
the
staff.Same
goes
for
checkout,
especially
if
you
have
a
flight
or
train
to
catch!
The
location
however
compensates
for
all
shortcomings
especially
the
beautiful
and
well
maintained
park
adjoining
the
property.
The
park
offers
nice
picnic
spots
with
prior
booking
for
groups
upto
30
person
@
Rs
800/-&
entry
@
Rs
35
per
adult.A
lot
of
renovations
and
development
are
taking
place
and
things
will
be
better
soon.
Transportation
is
an
issue,
though
TOTOs
and
autorickhshaws
are
available
nearby
at
the
entrance
of
the
Jawahar
Kunj
park
&
Gandhi
ghat
during
the
day.Advisable
to
travel
in
own
car/bikes,if
possible.
Recommended
for
a
good
getaway
with
family
or
friends
with
a
picnic
lunch
during
December
to
February,
when
flowers
are
in
bloom.
One
can
also
get
the
famous
"Dada
Boudi"
Biryani
take
away
and
enjoy
the
picnic
lunch
in
the
park.
