Tourist Attractions in West Bengal

Ravindra Gallery- This gallery has some of the rare and fine pictures and manuscripts of Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore. The paintings are done in a style peculiar to the poet and attracts many visitors. This place is also the venue for various cultural programs.

Rabindra Setu ( Howrah Bridge) - is one of three bridges on the river Hooghly and is the most famous symbol not only of Calcutta but also of West Bengal. Howrah Bridge is a bridge suspended on pillars. The newly constructed Vidya Sagar Setu is also a cable suspended bridge. It was built to reduce the pressure of traffic on the old Howrah Bridge. The design of the new bridge is very similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Belur Math - The Ramkrishna Mission established by Swami Vivekanand has its head Quarters here.

Digha - is the nearest sea beach from Calcutta. It takes a six-hour bus journey from Calcutta to reach here. Digha offers every possible attraction for a sea-loving traveler: good surf and golden sands. Just eight kilometer from Digha is the Chandaneshwar Siva Temple across the border in Orissa.

Tiger Hills - is the highest point in Darjeeling and it provides the most exotic view of the Kanchenjunga peaks. From this place the other peaks of the Eastern Himalayas can also be seen. The sight of the sun rising from over the Tiger Hills is an unforgettable experience. The first rays of the sun on these peaks of the Great Barriers gives an impression of molten gold having been spread.

Mirik - is 52 km from Siliguri and 55 km from the Bagdogra airfield. It is surrounded by tea estates, orange orchards and cardamom plantations. Free from the hustle and bustle of a regular hill station, it attracts the tourists automatically.
