Dubrajpur
Dubrajpur is a half-day stop for the nearby Bakreshwar hot springs and Tarapith temple; one night if you want a relaxed pace.
Dubrajpur is a small town in Birbhum district, West Bengal, best known as the rail gateway to Bakreshwar (hot springs) and Tarapith (temple). Most visitors pass through on the way to those sites or to Santiniketan. The town itself has a quiet market and a railway station but no major sights.
