The famous Bengali poet Jibanananda Das once wrote, "Banglar mukh ami dekhiachi, tai ami prithibir rup khujite jai na ar." It roughly translates to "I have seen the face of Bengal, so I don't seek the beauty of the earth anymore." West Bengal's beauty lies in the moments of serenity that exist amidst the bustle of its cities. The state knows how to serenade you and turn you into a poet. Be it the narrow lanes of Kolkata where artisans are found sculpting the perfect statues of Goddess Durga or the tranquil neighbourhood of Shantiniketan, where art flourishes, West Bengal is a universe of its own, running in a constant ecstatic motion. West Bengal tourism offers streets that carry stories reflected by its age-old monuments and buildings. The lush green hill stations of West Bengal such as Darjeeling and Kalimpong allow you to have a solitary affair with the snow-capped mountains while beaches such as Digha and Mandarmani let you bask in the sun rays as you indulge your senses in West Bengal tourism.
