Enjoyed traveled to Darjeeling, One of the Hill districts of West Bengal, India; Visited Kanchanjangha, Kalimpong and many other hill stations. Thousands of tourists visit these hill stations every year. The notable and famous sites are the tea gardens and tea factories that attract tourists from different corners of world. 

Another most attracting hill state is Jammu and kashmir in India where I visited twice because of nocturnal beauties of ice-covered hills throughout the year. Several plateaus, gardens and Dal lake on the hill top are the unique places of visits in kashmir. Gulmarg, Sonemarg, Pahelgaon etc are the most notable hill stations where tourists can always be seen. I not only enjoyed visiting these places but also encouraged my foreign friends to visit this state to make them understand that India has no less natural beauty and resources.

I visited Kanha and Bandhavgarh the National Forests located in the Madhya Pradesh of India in hunt of of tiger and honestly, I was very lucky to see one tiger moving from one point to the other in Bandhavgarh while I have watched the foot prints of tiger in Kanha forest.

Sundarban is another forest area in West Bengal which consists of thin river within dense forest.  The Sundarban is rich in mangrove trees while surrounded by a mysterious aura of something that locals believe to be the God or Goddess of the forest. In 1987, the Sunderbans was designated as a Cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site
