East India Travel
East India have a taste of beaches, temples, monastries, buddhist circuit with
a rural touch.
Most Popular tourist destinations for this region are, Calcutta, Former Captal
of India, Puri & Bhubaneshwar, Buddhist Circuit in Bihar, Monastries in
Sikkim, Kanchenjunga Range of Mountains in Darjeeling etc.
In no time at all the stimulating bustle and heat of Calcutta is left far behind,
opening out to the cool and luscious mountains of refreshing Darjeeling.
Encounter the mighty range of the Himalayas in Sikkim, the one-horned rhinoceros
in wonderful wildlife reserves, then dream of a forgotten age in the ancient
holy towns on the plains of rural India.
Discover the Soul of Calcutta Calcutta is the largest city in India, indeed
one of the largest in the world. Established as a British trading post in the
17th century, the city rapidly grew, acquiring a life and vibrancy of its own.
Its glory is still reflected in the buildings of Chowringhee and Clive Street,
know as Jawaharlal Nehru Road and Netaji Subhash Road respectively. It is a
city which leaves no-one indifferent-fascinating, effervescent, teeming with
life, peoples, cultures. The impact can be a shock at first; the rickshaws,
cars, brightly painted lorries, trolley buses, the cries of the street vendors,
labourers hard at work on the construction of the vast underground railway,
the noise and colour of the huge New Market, the bustle of the crowds...but
soon the jumbled impressions will sort themselves out.
