West Bengal is a diverse and culturally rich state, anchored by the intellectual and artistic city of Kolkata. From the misty hills of Darjeeling to the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, the region offers striking contrasts. Darjeeling, known for its tea gardens and colonial charm, is especially popular for second homes — offering cool weather, mountain views, and a slower rhythm of life.
Kolkata’s heritage, with its colonial architecture, literature, and cuisine, adds another layer of depth. Whether sipping tea at Glenburn, exploring Tagore’s legacy, or birdwatching in Chilapata, West Bengal invites thoughtful living and exploration — ideal for those seeking both inspiration and retreat.
