class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The geographical variance of West Bengal is truly amazing , considering it is spread out over an area that is less than 90,000 sq.km. After all, it is the only Indian state to have access to both the sea and the Himalayan Mountain range. One of the reasons for such a wide geographical spectrum is the unusual shape of the state. Its northern region borders Nepal, Bhutan and the states of Sikkim and Assam. The much larger southern region has Bangladesh to its east and the states of Odisha and Jharkhand to the West. The two areas are joined by a relatively narrow strip of land that borders Bangladesh on the east and the states of Bihar and Jharkhand on the west.<\/p><p>West Bengal can be roughly broken down into two broad sections: the hills of the north and plains of the south. The northern region of Bengal divided into the Darjeeling Himalayas and the Dooars. The plains part of West Bengal.of the south can be broken into the North Bengal plains, the Rarh region, the Ganga delta, and the Sundarbans. The North Bengal plains can be found between the Dooars in the north and the Ganga River in the South . The Mahananda corridor , named after the eponymous river, is the narrow strip of land that connects the northern and the southern part of West Bengal.<\/p><p>The Dooars are the sloping floodplains located south of the Darjeeling Himalayas. Their name is derived from the word for \u2018door\u2018\u2019 in several regional languages, as the Dooars have multiple gateways leading to the hills of Bhutan. The Dooars are an extension of the Terai , the Himalayan floodplains of the neighboring states and Nepal. They are spread out over the districts of Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar as well as parts of Cooch Behar and Darjeeling districts. There are several national parks and nature reserves in the northern region . The national park Singalila, Neora Valley, Garumara and Jaldapara, the Maahananda Wildlife Sanctuary and Buxa Tiger Reserve are some of the famous one. In northern region famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) is running since 1879 to till date . Now DHR is under Unesco World Heritage as well as in Southern part of Bengal Sundraban is under Unesco world heritage site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43d2dfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-gallery\" data-id=\"43d2dfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-gallery gva-element\">  \r\n  \t<div class=\"gva-gallery-grid clearfix\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"gva-content-items\"> \r\n\t\t  \t<div class=\"lg-block-grid-2 md-block-grid-2 sm-block-grid-1 xs-block-grid-1 xx-block-grid-1\">\r\n\t\t\t \t<div class=\"item\">\r\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\r\n\r\n               <div class=\"image\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/VICTORIA-MEMORIAL-580x450.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria Memorial\" \/>  \r\n         <\/div>\r\n         <a class=\"photo-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/VICTORIA-MEMORIAL.jpg\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"gallery-aykm\"><\/a>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"image-content\">\r\n         <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n                           <h3 class=\"title\">Victoria Memorial<\/h3>\r\n                                 <\/div>   \r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"item\">\r\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\r\n\r\n               <div class=\"image\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-PICTURE-1-580x450.jpg\" alt=\"Esplanade\" \/>  \r\n         <\/div>\r\n         <a class=\"photo-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-PICTURE-1.jpg\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"gallery-aykm\"><\/a>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"image-content\">\r\n         <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n                           <h3 class=\"title\">Esplanade<\/h3>\r\n                                 <\/div>   \r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"item\">\r\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\r\n\r\n               <div class=\"image\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-PICTURE-580x450.jpg\" alt=\"Howrah Bridge\" \/>  \r\n         <\/div>\r\n         <a class=\"photo-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-PICTURE.jpg\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"gallery-aykm\"><\/a>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"image-content\">\r\n         <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n                           <h3 class=\"title\">Howrah Bridge<\/h3>\r\n                                 <\/div>   \r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"item\">\r\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\r\n\r\n               <div class=\"image\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-ST-JOHN-CHURCH-5-580x450.jpg\" alt=\"St. John&#039;s Church\" \/>  \r\n         <\/div>\r\n         <a class=\"photo-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/ace.smhosting.co.in\/explicitjourney-web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KOLKATA-ST-JOHN-CHURCH-5.jpg\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"gallery-aykm\"><\/a>\r\n      \r\n      <div class=\"image-content\">\r\n         <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n                           <h3 class=\"title\">St. John's Church<\/h3>\r\n                                 <\/div>   \r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t  \t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n  \t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-753408c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"753408c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Kolkata<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59416d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"59416d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kolkata is the second largest city in India after Mumbai and is the capital of the eastern state of West Bengal. Established first as a trading port for the East India Company by Job Charnock in 1690, it held fort as the grand capital of the British in India till 1911. The city was built by the British by joining the three villages of Gobindapur, Sutanuti and Kolikata. Kolkata remains the mecca of intellectual prowess and cultural vibrancy. Eulogised in literature and cinema, and arguably one of the most beautiful cities to photograph despite its squalor and over-population, this city with its layeredhistory and influence makers, futuristic in their vision, continues exist outside its time.<\/p><p>The city of Kolkata originally developed in two parts- the White Town, consisting of the colonial district around the main arterial Chowringhee Road and the Dalhousi Square. The Black Town, which centered around North Kolkata, was inhabited by Indians. North Kolkata remains the oldest part of the city and is characterized by its decrepit structures, overcrowded alleyways and densely populated areas such as Shobabzar, Nakhoda Masjid, Baghbazar, Burrabazar, College Stree, Calcutta University, Calcutta Medical College. Towards the centre lies Kolkata\u2019s commercial district, which also houses most government buildings, the grand colonial structures of Dalhousie Square and the Esplanade area, high streets and prominent places of worship including cathedrals and Jewish Synagouges. The sprawling Maidan area adjoins the district giving it an air of openness in the heart of the city.<\/p><p>Things to do in many ways in Kolkata . If you look up at the Kolkata skyline one is sure to see Victoria Memorial\u2019s white Marbel dome topped with the bronze Angel of Victory Statue. This memorial was built in memory of Queen Vitoria, the Empress of British India at the time of her demise, by Lord Curzon. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, its foundation stone was laid by the Prince of Wales in 1906. The building has 25 galleries and showcases coins, artworks and memorabilia of the British Raj.<br \/>Further down Chowringhee lies the oldest museum in India and the ninth oldest in the world. Established by the Asiatic Societyin 1814, the Indian Museum has a fine collection of armour, antiques, fossils and art work. The museum has 60 galleries with fascinating treasures to behold, including and Egyptian mummy, a collection of meteorities, the ashes of Buddha , and the fossils of various prehistoric animals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e94aaa elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile

Bengal has a rich and cultured past that stretches back millennia. In present day the state capital of West Bengal is Kolkata. Kolkata is the second largest city in India after Mumbai. Bengal has been conquered and governed by many different rulers over the course of its tumultuous history. The reason behind it is obvious-with its heavy alluvial deposits, the abundance of rivers and streams, and ports lining in coast, the state has always been one of the most prosperous regions in the country. Therefore, Bengal has always been a prized territory for invaders and empires.. Historically speaking, Bengal refers to the combined area of West Bengal , Bangladesh, and parts of Assam, Tripura and Bihar, i.e. the entire Ganga Brahmaputra Delta.","cost_includes":"Accommodation
