Gosaba & Hamilton Bungalow
গোসাবা
The island gateway town of Gosaba, with the timber bungalow of Scotsman Hamilton, who set up a cooperative there, and Tagore's former retreat.
Gosaba is the last town before Sajnekhali. In the early twentieth century, the Scottish merchant Daniel Hamilton reclaimed land on the islands here and set up cooperatives and village banks. His timber bungalow still stands, and Tagore visited in 1932 and stayed in a cottage nearby. The town has a jetty, a market and ferries. Boats on the way stop briefly so you can go ashore, see the town and experience life in a delta fishing village.
Opening hours
Open all day (exterior of the former residence)
