|
The best time to visit West Bengal is between October and March when you will conveniently miss the sweaty, humid and suffocating Bengal summer. You will also be in time for the frenzied celebrations of Durga Puja, the worship of the goddess of strength, symbolising good over evil. It is a ten day ritual held in the month of October. Besides, this is also the time when Sunderbans, the world’s largest delta and home to the Royal Bengal tiger is open to visitors.

Climate
Heat, sweat, humidity are synonymous with West Bengal and rightly so. The state receives an annual rainfall between 1006 and 2933 mm. Summers in the plains are hot with temperatures keeping up between 32° C and 38° Celsius. The heat is aggravated by the high humidity levels in the state during this period. Winters are mild with an average temperature of 10°C to 20° Celsius. In the hilly areas of the north this period between November and March which is winter, is very cold.
