West Bengal, located in the eastern part of India, is a state that boasts breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. One of its most famous destinations is Darjeeling, known for its stunning views of the mighty Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain peak in the world. At Merry Resorts in West Bengal, visitors can witness the mesmerizing view of Darjeeling and Kanchenjunga range. The sight of these majestic mountains against a clear blue sky is truly awe-inspiring. However, not all sights in it can serene. In Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal, one can find dangerous scaffolding towering over buildings as workers tirelessly construct new structures. This bustling metropolis showcases both modernity and tradition. One iconic landmark that stands tall amidst Kolkata's hustle and bustle is the Howrah Bridge. Spanning across the Hugli River, this architectural marvel connects two sides of Kolkata and offers a glimpse into its historical significance. Moving away from urban life to spiritual sanctuaries, Parasnath Jain Temple in Kolkata provides solace to devotees seeking inner peace. Its intricate architecture reflects devotion and faith. Calcutta (now known as Kolkata) has always been an enchanting city with a rich past. A 1835 painting by William Daniell depicts Calcutta's Garden House Reach during colonial times when British influence was at its peak. Darjeeling continues to captivate tourists with Bhutia Busty Gompa standing proudly against the backdrop of Kanchenjunga. This Buddhist monastery exudes tranquility amidst nature's grandeur. In Calcutta's flower market lies an explosion of colors - garlands made from roses and freesias adorn every corner. It showcases India's vibrant culture where flowers hold deep symbolic meaning for celebrations or religious rituals. A visit to Victoria Memorial takes you back to British rule; this magnificent white marble building was constructed to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee.
