The
cultural cauldron of West Bengal in India combines arts, cities, countryside,
mountains and nature.
Whether you are intellectually inclined and want to live
among writers and wandering minstrels, or adventurers and hang out with rhinos,
these diverse West Bengal tourist destinations offer it all.
1 Kolkata
Kolkata,
the capital of West Bengal, officially known as the British of Calcutta until
2001, has undergone dramatic changes in the last decade. No longer identified
with the slums, deprivation and inspiring work of Mother Teresa, Kolkata, which
has developed into the 'cultural capital of India'. It is a conflict-filled
city full of captivating souls and sadly seems to have neglected the crumbling
buildings where the parts still stand for the time being. Also Kolkata is the
only city in India that has a tram / street car network, which adds to its old
world charm. Read More - sundarban tour

2 Sundarbans
National Park
The
Sundarbans is one of the top national parks in India. This spectacular tangle
of mangrove forest is the largest in the world — and the only one for tigers!
It is spread over 102 islands (about half of which are inhabited) and in
neighboring Bangladesh. The Sundarbans are accessible only by boat and not
exploring it in such a way is a unique experience not to be missed. Don't
expect to see any tigers though. They are very shy and usually hide well in the
reserve.
3 Darjeeling
Darjeeling,
best known for its lush green tea gardens, is one of the top 10 hill stations
in India. Top things to do in Darjeeling center around tea. However, the city
is blessed with a stunning view of Mount Kanchenjunga (the third highest peak
in the world) and has some interesting monasteries, local markets, handicrafts,
and Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine. Darjeeling was part of the Sikkim state
before it was developed by the British in the mid-19th century and was also
ruled temporarily by attacking Gurkhas from Nepal. Read More - Darjeeling and

4 Kalimpong
If
you would like to stay away from the crowds, Kalimpong is a less touristy
option under three hours from Darjeeling. The city sits on a ridge overlooking
the Teesta River, which separates it from Sikkim. It was ruled by the Sikkimese
until the early 1700s when it was taken over by the King of Bhutan. The British
won it back in 185. Attractions include Buddhist monasteries, adventure
activities, trekking, and nature walks. There are hills and villages around the
area to explore.
5 Shanti Niketan
He
says that seeing the quaint university town (meaning abode of peace) of Shanti
Niketan makes better sense. The Nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore
established a school there in 1901, which later developed into the
Visva-Bharati University, emphasizing humanity's relationship with nature. One
of the main attractions in Shanti Niketan is the Uttarayan complex where Tagore
lived. It now has a museum and art gallery. The Upasana Griha Prayer Hall also
stands out due to its many stained glass windows. Kala Bhavan is considered one
of the best visual arts colleges in the world. Read More - Book Gangtok
