Siliguri - সিলিগুরি

One of the key cities in northern West Bengal, Siliguri is a sprawling urban settlement. Although the city is a fast developing modern one with little tourist attraction in it, people travel to Siliguri since it serves as a base to explore Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Dooars region in West Bengal, as well as Gangtok and other places in Sikkim. Siliguri is also a good place for shopping or a accommodation at the beginning or the end of a tour to this region. Siliguri may called the Gateway of Eastern India as it is the main transit point for going to Darjeeling hill region, Sikkim, Bhutan, Eastern Nepal and Assam. It is the biggest town in North Bengal and is a fast developing one.
