At the time of Partition in 1947, Bengal was split into East and West Bengal and the latter became a state of India with Kolkata as its capital. The state is ling and narrow, running from the shores of Bay of Bengal in the south to the heights of the Himalaya at Darjeeling in the north.

There is a great deal of interest in the state within the two extremes, Kolkata, with its bewildering maelstrom of noise, culture, confusion and squalor of a metropolis at one end and Darjeeling, serene and peaceful, at the other.

This geographical conglomeration of sea and mangrove forests at South, hills and forests at North, rugged terrain and mine fields at West and fertile river delta at Middle and Eastern region contributes to refer the state of West Bengal as ‘Mini India’.

The intrepid traveler will find a number of places consider visiting, be it hill stations, wildlife sanctuaries,pilgrimages and other interesting places . Few foreign tourists visit the ruined mosques of Malda, the palaces of Murshidabad, the temples of Vishnupur and Cooch Behar.

The exotic Sunderbans Wildlife Sanctuary or other places off the beaten path retain the exotic beauty of Bengal. The friendly Bengalis will make you feel at home with their warm feel of hospitality.
