Overview
The West Bengal Heritage & Wonders Package offers a grand journey through a land defined by its intellectual depth, artistic soul, and diverse geography. The experience begins in Kolkata, the “City of Joy,” where colonial-era landmarks like the majestic Victoria Memorial and the iconic Howrah Bridge stand alongside vibrant street markets and traditional tramways. This part of the tour explores the state’s deep-rooted passion for literature and art, taking you from the historic lanes of North Kolkata to the tranquil atmosphere of Shantiniketan, the world-renowned university town founded by Rabindranath Tagore, where the baul music and tribal crafts reflect the true spirit of rural Bengal.
As the journey unfolds, the landscape transforms from the bustling plains to the misty heights of the Eastern Himalayas and the mysterious wetlands of the south.
