The colour of contrast narrates West Bengal with the true spirit. The amazing state in the East of India, largest among all the eastern states of the country, is blessed with the unique natural feature while stretching from the Himalaya in the North to the Bay of Bengal in the South and thus offering perhaps the widest geographical variation among all the states of India and while the natural contrast gets the perfect blending with the socio cultural character of the state, there forms the complete representation of the Indian subcontinent. To its northeast lie the states of Assam and Sikkim and the tiny country Bhutan, and to its southwest, the state of Orissa. To the west it borders the state of Jharkhand and Bihar, and to the northwest, Nepal.
Holidaying in West Bengal is synonymous with leisure in nature. Enjoying the concert of cowbells while having lunch at a mountain road restaurant or watching a breathtaking sunset while sipping a green coconut on any of the numerous golden beaches, dancing to the beats of drums at the luminous Puja Pandals with rich creative signs of temporary architectural splendours all around, during the DURGA PUJA, the biggest festival of Bengal which literally rouses the entire state to a feverish pitch, or humming to the mesmerizing tunes from the flute of a tribal villager at a remote village, all would remind one about something very natural and indeed very authentic.
