West Bengal Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

A day with Victoria & Netaji in Kolkata

It was a great day at Victoria memorial in Kolkata. It's located at the heart of cosmopolitan city Kolkata. Now it's the most popular tourist destination in Kolkata. The structural beauty of the monument amazed me. This memorial is a sign of India's colonial past as it was built in memory of then British India's Empress Victoria. The memorial hall hall has been turned into a Museum now. But what an irony. The then anti occupation Independence activist Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is featured in this Museum

Kolkata - Victoria Memorial

#passionpassport Another relic of the British Raj in India, the Victoria Memorial is located in the heart of Kolkata, in West Bengal. This white marbled opulent structure was built in memory of Queen Victoria to celebrate her 25 years of rule over India and is almost a replica of the Victoria Memorial in London. Victoria Memorial is an iconic structure that is synonymous with the city of joy! The memorial is surrounded by a lush green and well-maintained garden, which spreads over 64 acres and has numerous statues and sculptures in it. A sixteen-foot tall bronze statue of victory, mounted on ball bearings at the top of the memorial, serves to heighten the overall appeal and grandeur of the entire complex. Victoria Memorial is breathtaking and marvellous, especially at night, when it is illuminated. The Sound and Light shows that take place in the evening are an added delight, and a must watch. All in all, the place is a must visit for people to wish to relive the essence of the Victorian era in the modern day world. #kolkata #westbengal #travel #passionpassport

The most unique experience in India, travel around Darjeeling by train? Unlock the niche new game first strange city, I like to go deep into the city. The station here is casual, there is no security checkpoint, there is no inquiry, and the entrance is the platform. Just like the condensed open-air market, the sound of screaming, jokes, and railroad tracks are intertwined. The teenagers in the bamboo basket above the head, running along the track, grabbing the railing and flying on the car. Different from the hanging train pictures mentioned in the news, the locals are more in a chaotic and orderly line. Tips: Indian trains are graded, almost AC1

India's World Heritage Site - Darjeeling Himalaya Railway take the 19th century miniature four-wheel steam train, the ancient sound of the smoke. It takes 8 hours to sway through the city streets, green valleys and lush forests from the ancient city of Xi Ligu, 100 meters above sea level at the foot of the eastern foothills of the Himalayas, and then in a series of columns, criss-crossing, zigzag, ring-shaped great design, along 2 feet narrow rail, climbed all the way to Darjeeling (2200 meters above sea level), which is famous for producing high quality black tea. Is there anything more attractive than this? Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) As an old antique in the British colonial period, it is one of the earliest railways in India and one of the few high-altitude railways in India that are still operating. Although the railway is 100 years old, it is still considered a classic of the Panshan railway system. The bold and innovative design solves the problem of establishing an efficient transport railway through the rugged mountains, while retaining the original natural features of the area and being included in the World Heritage by UNESCO.

The Himalaya train in Darjeeling became a World Heritage Site in 1999. It is the most worthwhile project in Darjeeling. It runs every day and has a departure time of 10

#awesomepic The Angelical St. Paul’s Cathedral was built in 1847 and displays a remarkable Gothic Revival architectural design. The building suffered massive damage during an earthquake in 1934 and was rebuilt with a new design. The church’s construction is attributed to the British rule in Calcutta and is perhaps one of the few buildings with Indo-Gothic Architecture. #awesomepic

Kolkata, India's third-largest city, is like a miniature of the world. Here you can see the poor caste and homeless low caste tramp, and you can see elegant gentlemen in the golf club. The noble and despicable coexistence is the truest portrayal of Kolkata. In Kolkata, you can stroll through the chaotic alleys, through the centuries-old colonial buildings; taste authentic Hakka snacks in Chinatown, learn about the different Chinese cultures; explore the most authentic Bangladeshi cuisine. In the Forge House, you can have a soulful conversation with the great Indian poets, or learn about the volunteer life at Mother Teresa's home of love. This visit will be an unforgettable experience.

Japanese Garden - Kolkata

Japanese Garden in Ecopark Kolkata is small but beautifully designed garden and have a Temple, FushimaInnari Tori gate’s installation and few more attractions. It looks good and gives some Japanese vibes. There is also a restaurant inside which was closed so not sure if it’s a Japanese restaurant and sells Japanese cuisines or not. This is in front of Lake and takes 15-20 min to visit. #summervacation #eveningwalks #celebratewithtrip #japanesegarden #Visitkolkata #Kolkataphotography #photography #travelphotographer #summervacationtravel #Summerevenings #travelinsipiration
