Everything that you need to know about Siliguri

Siliguri is a small town in the northern part of West Bengal (India).It is on the foothills of the rising Shiwaliks.Darjeeling is just 3 hours, Gangtok 4 hours, Pelling 4 hours and mighty Dooars 2 hours distance from the Siliguri.Borders of countries like China,Tibet,Bangladesh,Nepal and Bhutan are few kilometers distance from this town.Siliguri is a crucial gateway to NorthEast states of India named Assam,Meghalaya,Arunachal Pradesh,Mizoram,Manipur,Tripura and Nagaland.

However, this is not the best thing about Siliguri.Siliguri is surrounded by lush green forests on three sides.It won't be an exaggeration to say that if you are on any street of Siliguri,you will land up in a forest track within 15 minutes of journey.

Another significant fact about Siliguri is this that it is among the safest city in India for woman.I was born and brought up in this town .In my 21 years of conscious existence, I have rarely heard of three cases of woman molestation or rape.If you are a solo woman traveler and want to visit hill stations of  Sikkim and North Bengal (Darjeeling,Kurseong,kalimpong,Lava &Lolegaong) just book a flight from New Delhi/your city to Bagdogra Airport(IXB) and you shall find all means to travel to your favorite destination from thereon(without comprising your security).Ofcourse you need to be careful about handing enough money to the taxi drivers.A little bargaining and awareness of the fare will save a lot of your money.Did I mention that Darjeeling is one of the low budget hill stations of India?

Though Darjeeling and Gangtok are the most popular hill stations of this region but there are some beautiful tracts very very close to Siliguri which could be unmatched by any  hill station .As we know that North Bengal and Northeast regions are the least explored natural places of the earth therefore they still remain in their natural form.Obviously, I never dream it to be spoiled by pollution or population but atleast I could make an endeavor to reach those nature lovers who crave to see Nature in its native form.Moreover, the things out here incredibly cheap. Seven momos in just Rs 10.Sorry for the forgetful habit of missing the important points ! Siliguri is among the best and most cost-effective places on earth to consume momos,thupkas,chowmein,and other Chinese dishes.The hawkers of S.F Road and Pradhan Nagar serve the most delicious momos in Siliguri.
