5 Weekend Resorts around Kolkata for Families #MMM

By on 9

I am forever bugging my hubby for weekend getaways.Quick budget trips to nature and gets back refreshed.Not too much traveling for the body, but a great rejuvenation for the mind.Who doesn’t want that .over the last few years I have zeroed in on a few of my favorites?

5 Weekend Resorts around Kolkata for Families 

My top picks are curated after intensive research.When you travel with children you are more careful about things like safety, food quality and entertainment options for kids.Keeping that in mind and the destination being around Kolkata  I was spoiled for choice.

Rivers .sea ,jungle or ruralBengal?All are equally captivating.Scroll through to plan your weekend in Kolkata.

Kolaghat Hotel Sonar Bangla

Is located right on the beautiful river Rupnarayan.The paved promenade by the river is pleasant for strolling.The swimming pool in the hotel property makes for some family times and the lush green grounds don’t disappoint.If you have children with you, you are sure to feel glad for choosing this option.The infinity pool gives you a feeling of swimming in the Rupnarayan itself, without any of the dangers.

It has an untouched beauty which will refresh you.Located 54Km from Kolkata and is a green oasis you will love.You can travel by road or rail.It is roughly 2 hours from proper Kolkata depending on traffic.By rail, it’s about one and a half hours and you have whopping 93 options to choose from.
Visit the birthplace of the famous literary giant Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay at Deuti.

Raichak on the Ganges

This is great if you are spending some time with a group of friends or family and want the comfort of home.rent the bungalow or pool cottages at Ganga kutir.

You can also check out the heritage property Fort Raichak.Its magnificent architecture and historic grandeur are perfectly balanced with the scenic beauty all around.Built in 18th century by the then all-powerful East India company the resort speaks in whispers of things it has seen.The stunning view of the beautiful Ganges will relax your soul and is the perfect place to try meditation.Eat, pray and enjoy.

Go for a river cruise or just spend time exploring the Haldia port.you will have a wonderful time There is a famous Sai Baba Mandir for a quick holy blessing

Mandarmoni is an absolute favorite which I visit every year at least twice without fail.The sea here makes any time a fun time.Building sand castles never go out of fashion for kids.If the sea is in the plan you can also check out Puri Just fly to Bhubaneswar from Kolkata (45 minutes )and drive to the Mahadadhi Palace resort by road in 2 hours (it’s just 65 km from the airport.The cost of the trip will be on the high side, but well worth it

 

Puri diaries The sea is beautiful. Even if it’s 2 days I try to take frequent breaks.Its just good for the mind. It’s 2 months since I went to Puri. I think it’s time for a break again. #indianentrepreneur #infopreneur#ig_calcutta #kolkatabloggers #indianbloggers #entrepreneurship#mompreneurs #womenentrepreneurs#femaleentrepreneur #onlinebusiness#onlinebusinessindia #hydroponics #urbangardenersrepublic #urbangardening#inspirations#bookstagrammer#bookworms#instabookshop#instabookstore#booksofinstagram#bookworming#bookstagramming#amreading #mental health  #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #helpfordepression #balcony gardeni

Vedic Village

This one gives you a taste of rural Bengal, but in luxury and you don’t have to travel too far Gorgeous landscapes, artistic traditional architecture with all the comforts of home.What else do you need>A range of flora fauna birds bees and butterflies, and 150 acres of farmland will enchant you.It’s a world-class resort with all amenities and perfect for families.But it’s a tad expensive for spending a night in the city!Only 20 minutes from Kolkata airport you may consider spending some time here if you are dropping into Kolkata with family.

Sundarbans

This one is an adventure weekend.The  Sundarban riverside Holiday resort has by far the best facilities but Ac works only during the day as the diesel generator is the main powers source.That can be a problem during summer.Exotic location, jungle safari, delicious food and great staff makes this a good place to spend a weekend with your family just unwinding.Best time to visit is December-January during the cooler months.But I have a bonus option for you a river cruise in Sundarbans in a houseboat.They have a special offer for moms.Moms in the family for children up to 12th standard need not pay at alThat’sts such a sweet gesture .The houseboat thing is inclusive of all charges and they have a wonderfully flexible payment structure.

The only problem is the security.Both from animals and humans .i am not totally convinced of ythe security arrangement in a boat.

What do I look for in a resort for a weekend getaway?

A good budget package for families

I love a good deal.Who doesn’t?Perks and goodies at unbelievable rates.That’s my motto behind all trip plans

Pick up and drop facilities from Kolkata included in the package

If this facility is missing, it will add to your trip cost.If that’s not an issue having your own car handy is always a good option.

Nature bounty with plenty of green covers and clean air

I don’t travel without nature at the other end.Let me rephrase I never travel for pleasure, to places without plenty of green.I love shopping, restaurants, and malls.But I would love it, if they were in a tree house, surrounded by tropical rain forest and chirping birds.

Child-friendly with indoor and outdoor play areas.This will make perfect sense  for all parents.

 

A swimming pool is a great add-on for summersUntil the kiddos have fun there’s no respite to the moon and back.So if I want to have a relaxing time I pick resorts with plenty of kid activities.

 

Great food

This goes without saying .I want healthy options as well as indulgence on menus.It should also have options for children.Which parent would want a cranky child at meal times?No one.So this one can make or break a deal

Within 2 to 3 hours from the city

I definitely don’t want to travel constantly to stay for a few hours.Minimum travel and maximum fun.That’s my recipe for rejuvenation over the weekend .What’s yours?Comment below to share your favorite resort story in and around the city you live in.

Writing this post for #MondayMommyMoments .I love travelly to the lap of nature which is great for families.Want me to review your resort ?Email me at dramrita@healthwealthbridge.com

19 Things you should check for liver health

By on 34

 

The liver is the organ that gets rid of the poisons and toxins in your body. Imagine this system getting hurt. You will be poisoned from inside out. Our liver also has an amazing regenerative property. If you change your ways things can turn around.

For optimum liver health:

You should have plenty of water.Water helps in flushing out the toxins from your system.

Not having enough water makes your body dehydrated.The liver works best in hydrated status for removing the toxins from your body.

Liver health:19 Things you should know
Liver health:19 Things you should know

Avoid excessive

Sugar.

Fructose a type of sugar present in processed food is metabolized only in the liver. Excess calorie get converted into fat. This is a big cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Medicines:

Acetaminophen present in Paracetamol is a commonly available OTC which is hepatotoxic in high doses in most people and even in low doses in genetically susceptible people.

Antidepressants: Some of them can alter liver functions. So check with your doctor for the right time to check your liver function if you are on these medicines.

Excessive Vitamin A gets stored in the liver and can damage your liver. This happens with supplements generally and not with natural dietary sources from fruits and veggies.

Avoid as far as possible :

Herbal supplements

Just going natural sounds great. But be careful. Most poisons are natural too!. Herbs like Comfrey. Kava Kava, concentrated catechins (the active ingredients in green tea)can damage your, liver too.

Alcohol: A known liver poison capable of poisoning every cell of your body even in low doses.

Soft drinks and processed food

Trans fat present in processed food.It can cause irreparable harm to your body.

MSG or monosodium glutamate present in certain packaged food is suspected to have a role in liver diseases.

Hepatitis:Used needles/Unsafe sex/tattoos can cause Hepatitis B, C, HIV.

All can damage the liver.

Smoking 2011 study found that smoking was the cause of nearly half of all liver cancers. Smoking is equivalent to barbecuing your life. Read all about it here.

Your lifestyle

Eating a very heavy meal during dinner is bad for many reasons. But since our bodies, repair work happens at night. Loading the liver with a high fat diet at night will just make it more overworked.

Too much stress.

Not exercising enough.

Obesity causes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The liver cells are so laden with fat that they can’t do their normal functions. This kind of liver disease mimics that due to alcohol.

Healthcare checkup:

Not checking liver function regularly will be dangerous, if you have some or all the above risk factors.

Are you taking care of your liver?

I love being a mom :One thing #MondayMommyMoments

By on 8

Having a child is a blessing and a miracle.I am a doctor, I know the science behind it.I also know the possible challenges , before a  baby is conceived.The busy bee lifestyle you have today , makes it even more difficult.

I love being a mom.If there’s one thing I have to say I love most about it , is the bliss of being loved unconditionally, without judgment (at least till 2 -3  years age).Then they learn to judge.But even then the love is so pure it glows,  embraces and cocoons you in its rosy warmth.

When I wake up in the morning her smile and good morning mama makes me all happy inside.It’s like the perfect sound to wake up to.When I tie up her hair for school, the way her hair smells and feels beneath my fingers make me feel peaceful.Then I kiss her goodbye as she runs towards the school gate, my heart whispers a silent prayer to keep her safe and learning happily.

#MMM love being a mommy
#MMM love being a mommy

Motherhood is a big responsibility.An honor.It’s a chance to help make the future citizen of the world.All that is good inside us, we need to teach.All that’s not so good, we need to avoid.The balance is crucial! Children are perceptive.They can smell a lie instinctively.To make them learn and do anything, you need to be the example.I have never found walking the talk, as challenging as when I became a mom.With other people, it’s just easier!

 

The first 2 years of mommyhood was a blur.I started blogging when Rai was two and a half .That’s roughly the same time, she was able to see and follow what I did.Before that life was a struggle and I was barely coping.Now Rai is a companion a friend and my daughter. Every day I wake up and as the day passes, I am growing up just like Rai.Growing up to be a mommy, best suited for her.
