Trip Tales – Day 1
A Journey Begins: Kolkata to Mandarmani by Road đźš—
It was 5:00 AM when five close friends started their road trip from Newtown, Kolkata. The city was still asleep, and the highway awaited. With a rented car pre-booked online, they set their GPS toward Mandarmani sea beach, one of Bengal’s most peaceful coastal gems.
Smooth Highway 🛣️ , Quick Break at Kolaghat
By 7:15 AM, the crew reached Kolaghat, a popular tea-and-toast stop for every NH6 traveler. With a 20-minute break for tea, omelets, and selfies, the journey felt refreshingly slow-paced — just how road trips should be.
Reaching Mandarmani at 10:30 AM 🌊
Maintaining a relaxed speed of 60–80 km/h, they reached Mandarmani by 10:30 AM, soaking in the sea breeze and clear skies. After checking in, the first attraction wasn’t the sea — it was the resort swimming pool!
Poolside Fun & Lunch Feast 🏊‍♂️
They dived into the pool like kids — spending a solid 2 hours splashing, laughing, and enjoying the cool water. A quick change later, it was time for lunch with over 10 dishes — and nothing was spared. Every plate, clean!
Sunset Walk & Evening Chill 🌇
After a short nap and a well-timed 5 PM tea, the group headed to the beach for a stunning sunset walk. Calm waves, soft breeze, and zero crowd made it feel like a private paradise.
Dinner was kept simple but perfect — crispy fried fish and chicken that made everyone smile. A day well spent. Day 1, done.
Next day planning to see sun rise scene from the sea at 5AM, just 200 meters walk to reach sea front.
Why Do Car Travelers Love Mandarmani’s Resorts with Swimming Pools❓
