Getting There: Your Journey from Howrah to Dhanbad
Around 272 km from Kolkata, Dhanbad is an accessible destination for a quick escape, ideal for a day trip or a relaxed weekend getaway. Travellers can drive via NH19 in 5–6 hours, taking in the verdant countryside, or take one of the many trains from Howrah to Dhanbad, which cover the journey in just 3–4 hours. Whether by road or rail, the journey sets the tone for the calm, adventure, and natural beauty that await.
Why Travellers from Kolkata Love Dhanbad
There are countless reasons why travellers from Kolkata are drawn to Dhanbad. Beyond its industrial heritage, the city is a canvas of natural beauty and cultural vibrancy. Maithon Dam, one of Jharkhand’s largest, features a pioneering underground power station—the first of its kind in South Asia—and offers serene boating amidst its scenic waters. Nature lovers can wander the tranquil Topchanchi Lake or marvel at the cascading Bhatinda Falls.
Culture enthusiasts can dive into the Tusu Festival, a spirited folk harvest celebration that lights up the city during the winter, or the 3-day Dhanbad Mahotsav, which showcases regional art, music, and heritage. Although held annually, the exact dates vary each year. After arriving in Dhanbad and soaking in its natural and cultural charm, Wedlock Greens offers the ideal haven to relax and recharge, setting the stage for an unforgettable weekend of exploration.
Make the Most of Your Trip: Dhanbad in 2 Days
Day 1: Kick off your Kolkata to Dhanbad trip early from Howrah, letting the landscapes of West Bengal and Jharkhand unfold outside your window. Arrive at Wedlock Greens in the afternoon and settle into one of our thoughtfully designed rooms or a private pool villa. After refreshing yourself, take a leisurely walk through the resort’s gardens or lounge by the pool, letting the day’s travel melt away. As evening falls, immerse yourself in the local culture—if you are visiting in March or November, you might witness the vibrant Chhath Puja celebrations, or, depending on the season, experience the energy of tribal festivals such as Karma or Sarhul. Return to the resort for dinner at Thyme Restaurant or a casual evening at the Poolside Café, enjoying the perfect blend of local flavours and elegant ambience.
Day 2: Wake up to a hearty breakfast at the resort before heading out to the region’s natural attractions. Enjoy boating at Maithon Dam, stroll along its serene embankments, and capture panoramic views. Later, spend some quiet time at Bhatinda Falls, surrounded by nature. By evening, return to Wedlock Greens and unwind—perhaps a relaxing swim in the pool, some time at the kids’ play area if travelling with family, or a cocktail at The Open Box Bar. End the day with a lavish dinner or themed dining experience, reflecting on the adventures of the day, before departing back to Kolkata.
