Santiniketan, the cultural heart of West Bengal, is famous for its unique festivals and vibrant local markets. Among these, the Sonajhuri Haat, also known as Khoai Mela, is an unmissable experience for tourists and locals alike. In 2025, this beloved market is set to attract even more visitors with its blend of crafts, food, and cultural performances. If you are planning a trip to Santiniketan, here’s your complete guide to experiencing Sonajhuri Haat like a local.
Sonajhuri Haat is a weekly open-air market nestled in the picturesque Sonajhuri forests of Bolpur. Famous for its golden shonajhuri trees that line the Khoai landscape, the Haat is a hub for local artisans, handloom enthusiasts, and food lovers. From traditional handicrafts to freshly prepared Bengali delicacies, the market offers an authentic glimpse into Santiniketan’s culture.
While Sonajhuri Haat is vibrant all year round, the best time to visit is during the cooler months from November to February. Morning hours are ideal to enjoy a calm stroll, watch local craftspeople at work, and savor traditional snacks without the crowd.
To fully enjoy your visit without rushing, it’s best to stay close to the Haat. Anuska Sonajhuri Forest Homestay offers peaceful forest-side accommodation, home-cooked meals, and a serene environment that makes your Santiniketan experience memorable.
