WEST BENGAL

West Bengal, located in eastern India, is a land of rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and historical significance. Bordered by the Himalayas in the north and the Bay of Bengal in the south, the state offers an incredible diversity of landscapes — from misty mountains and lush tea gardens to vibrant cities and serene river deltas.

The capital city, Kolkata, known as the “City of Joy,” reflects a unique blend of colonial charm, art, literature, and modern vibrancy. Darjeeling, with its world-famous tea estates and panoramic Himalayan views, is a paradise for nature lovers, while the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, is home to the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger.

West Bengal is also the land of Rabindranath Tagore, renowned for its contributions to music, dance, literature, and festivals like Durga Puja, which showcase the state’s artistic spirit. From the terracotta temples of Bishnupur to the peaceful environs of Shantiniketan, West Bengal offers travelers a unique blend of tradition, spirituality, and modernity.
