An offbeat place-Samthar
North Bengal is famous for it beautiful places among the people of the rest of the state as well as the country. But, over due course of time only a few places have actually got recognition and there are many offbeat places which are beautiful too. Today we will explore North Bengal beyond Darjeeling. The beautiful place I had been talking of is none other than Samthar. Location: Samthar is located in the district of Kalimpong( Pincode- 734031)of West Bengal, India. The place is only 60 kms from Siliguri. How to reach Samthar: Samthar can be reached only through the road route. If one starts from Kolkata, one can take the trains which halt at New Jalpaiguri Station(Njp) such as - Darjeeling Mail, Superfast etc. One can then book a car according to one's own choices and can reach Samthar with two hours. Where to stay: There are many homestays in Samthar. One can choose any homestay as per one's own choice. One of the famous homestays can be Lamadara homestay...
