south and rivers crisscrossing the whole of the state the varied panorama

offers the discerning traveller a wide choice and caters to the requirements

of varied travel segments.

West Bengal is a complete representation of the Indian subcontinent.

Darjeeling, referred by many as the Queen of Hill Stations, the Darjeeling

Himalayan Railway declared as a World Heritage Site, the vast tea estates

of the Dooars, the famed Royal Bengal Tiger of Sundarban, the innumerable

historical landmarks of Indias and Bengals glorious history are all wonders

for the prospective tourists.
