West bangal
The best time to visit West Bengal is during the winter months (October to February/March) for pleasant, cool weather ideal for exploring Kolkata, Sundarbans, and enjoying festivals, while March to May and September to November are great for the Himalayan foothills like Darjeeling, offering clear mountain views before the peak summer heat. Avoid the monsoon (June-September) for heavy rains, though it’s great for lush greenery.
