About Bengal weekend
To sum up, in a word, Bengal is a Blessed Land. In Bengali, we refer to the State as Sonar Bangla, a land that has an evergreen golden hue about it, which emanates from the endless fields of crops and the large and innumerable orchards dotting the entire landscape. Crisscrossed by rivers, wide, deep, and mountainous; the majestic Himalayas in the North with gorgeous hill resorts; the deep and mysterious Sunderbans forests (a World Heritage Site), home of the famous Royal Bengal Tiger; a plateau with folk habitations and red soil in the West; the Bay of Bengal with its sea resorts in the South and the charming, cosmopolitan, welcoming and colorful cities led by the capital Kolkata (Calcutta), the land of Bengal is always one for the album of every traveler and tourist in the world. You can make your own unforgettable sweet memories in Bengal, which also hosts one of the largest cultural festivals of the world-the Durga Puja, in late September/October every year. This website is, therefore, a labour of our love for our land-a labour, which will never be complete since there are just too many places to visit, discover and spend time in, the State. We thought of creating a site, which can introduce you to the diversities that the State has and how you can go about visiting them. We shall continue with our endeavor and try and improve upon the site continuously as we go forward.
