    October still gives the best mix of mild temperatures and bright green fields, so the scenery is usually at its peak. If you’re staying in Kolkata, the Hotel 16 avenue is a solid base and is just a short ride to the village. After Kusumgram you might want to stop by the Dakshineswar Kali Temple; the riverfront walk there offers a nice contrast to the rural vibe. Do you have a preference for a particular day trip from Kolkata?
