“Winter is coming”- A viral dialogue from a famous American TV series- Game of Thrones- is often said before winter’s arrival among Bangladeshi netizens. This year has not been any different. Much to their surprise, winter has already come. To experience this winter right now, you just have to travel to the districts of the north to experience the winter expanding its foggy grasp on local livelihood.
Planning a trip to North Bengal in winter? With services like Uber rental and Intercity, you can easily visit this destination with your friends and family. Intercity services are not only excellent for travelling outside the city, but also a reliable and affordable means of transporting people conveniently to their destinations, irrespective of the distance. It also allows you to keep the ridesharing vehicle with you for days you travel, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey.
The districts of the north, like Panchagar and Thakurgaon, are not just about the winter. They offer a breathtaking sight that is a must-see during this time of year. From mid-October to January, the majestic Kanchenjunga, with its snow-capped peaks, becomes visible from Bangladesh. The view is especially stunning in November when the air is clearer and the weather is quite soothing. The sight of this beautiful mountain, easily visible from Panchagarh and Thakurgaon, is sure to leave you awe-inspired and excited.
One of the most unique experiences of visiting North Bengal in winter is witnessing the transformation of Kanchenjunga at sunrise. The mountain usually emerges between 5:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., as if from nothingness in the blink of an eye, just minutes before the sunlight hits the ground. When the sunlight first touches its peak, the white snow-capped mountain becomes red like hot lava, a sight that is truly breathtaking.
Apart from the mountain’s peak, the wonderful sights of vehicular movements and electric lights of the hilly Kalimgpong town, Darjeeling’s sub-divisional headquarters, and the border watch lights of India that appear at night can be enjoyed from the Tentulia Dak Bungalow area. Visitors can also enjoy the plains tea states of the north, Kazi and Kazi tea states, ensuring this tour.
Winter in the north is different. Its beauty is more enjoyable if the travel plans are made right. Uber rental and intercity are convenient and safe alternatives for the traveler.
