North
Bengal is truly a treasure hunt for the nature lovers, especially for
those who are looking for a periodical escape from the hectic chores of
the modern city life. Lying in the Northern half of the State of West
Bengal and encircled by international boundaries of Nepal, Bhutan and
Bangladesh, North Bengal offers a unique combination of varied landscape
- from high mountainous region in the extreme north to the vast Gangetic
plains in the extreme south.
The
landscape, history and cultures of each district have a distinguished
character. While nature has showered his bountiful beauties in Darjeeling
with great Himalayan ranges passing through it, Jalpaiguri, lying in the
sub-Himalayan foothills, presents a rich biodiversity with dense forests,
varied faunal and floral live forms.
