For anyone planning a holiday to West Bengal, Darjeeling and the Dooars region are obvious choices. Not only because of the natural beauty, but also because of the rich cultural diversity, rich heritage, fun experiences and a lot of being in nature.


Darjeeling, with its sprawling and scenic tea estates and old colonial heritage, never fails to amaze us. Add to that the incredible beauty of the place, with Mount Kanchendzonga looming over the town.



The Dooars region has its own charm, and an unforgettable one too. It is one of the most lush regions in the state, and is home to national parks like Gorumara National Park and Jaldapara National Park, second largest home to the greater one-horned rhinoceros in India.
