Hotels in West Bengal, India

West Bengal is a northeastern Indian state stretching from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, famous for its tea gardens in Darjeeling and the cultural hub of Kolkata. Summers (March-June) can hit 95°F (35°C) in the plains, perfect for exploring Kolkata's colonial architecture like the Victoria Memorial, while winters (November-February) drop to 50°F (10°C) in the hills-ideal for trekking through Darjeeling's tea estates or taking a boat ride on the Hooghly River. The state splits into distinct regions: the cool, misty mountains offer toy train rides and sunrise views over Kanchenjunga, while the humid Sundarbans mangrove forest lets you spot Bengal tigers via canoe safaris.
