The Bay of Bengal at Bhubaneswar

The terrains of Darjeeling
The state of West Bengal is glorified with the presence of the hilly terrains of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri. An overnight train to the NJP junction or a flight will take you to the town between the hills. You will be mesmerised to look at the mall at Darjeeling which is one of the biggest tourist attractions. The local shops and the cosy restaurants for breakfast and dining while overlooking the hills of Kanchenjunga, nothing could fill your heart with warmth and love more than the scenic beauty of the Queen of Hills.
If you desire to spend an enjoyable vacation with your family but are confused about where to head in India, we suggest you think no more and go for Darjeeling. The hanging garden, the lakes of Mirik and the Tenzing Norgay museum will leave a great mark during your stay.
The Queen's necklace: Mumbai, India

Every bylane and street are filled with exclusive Mumbai delicacies and the scent of freshly baked Vada Pao and Bhaji.

The affordability of hotel rents is reasonable for a vacation in the most heart throbbing city of India.
