West Bengal
West Bengal is one of the best tourist destinations in India. You will find a wide array of tourist places here – beaches, architectural marvels, national parks, historical monuments, ancient temples, hill stations, and more. This is a land that stretches from the Himalayan landscapes of Darjeeling to the vast swampy mangrove forests of Sunderbans. There are great cosmopolitan cities like Kolkata, and heritage places like Murshidabad, Chandannagar, and others. The poetic charm of Shantiniketan is one that words cannot describe. Darjeeling, which boasts of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, is one of the most famous hill stations in India.
Any tour of West Bengal includes Kolkata and its popular places like Victoria Memorial, Hooghly River boating, Fort William, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Belur Math, and others. A walk on Howrah Bridge and boating in the Hooghly River are must-do activities in Kolkata. A tour of Shantiniketan also is an essential feature in any West Bengal tour itinerary. This famous place played a pivotal role in the rise of Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel prize-winning author and poet. The places here like Tagore’s Ashram, Amar Kutir, and Rabindra Bhawan Museum have a vast treasure of heritage and photographs.
But if there is one place that you cannot ignore in West Bengal, then that place is no other than Darjeeling. The Darjeeling Toy Train has become an icon of the mountain railways and its awesome architecture in India. This Himalayan hill station is famous in the whole of India for its panoramic views, tea estates, mountaineering institute, bazaars, Buddhist monasteries, and breathtaking views of Mount Kanchenjunga. Kalimpong is a smaller, but equally wonderful hill station, and is close to Darjeeling. It also has some beautiful scenic places to boast of.
West Bengal is endowed with magnificent natural beauty and wildlife. Some of these places like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries rank among the finest places in the world to enjoy the rich wildlife and forests. The top spot goes to Sunderbans, which is the largest river delta in the entire world. It is known for the Royal Bengal Tigers, swamp crocodiles, turtles, Gangetic River Dolphins, and others. A river cruise in the Sundarbans National Park is the best way to spot these creatures. Equally wonderful and almost as scenic as Sunderbans is the Jaldapara National Park. It is the home of the one-horned rhino, tigers, leopards, hog deer, chital, and other creatures.
