Siliguri Crafts Beauty

Whenever you choose to visit Darjeeling, do make it a point to have a stopover at Siliguri. This bustling city in close proximity to the Himalayas is a scenic toy train ride away from Darjeeling. The city serves as the base for tourists going for hill stations of east India, such as Darjeeling, Kalimpong or Gangtok. Siliguri has a number of tourist attractions, but it is famous among the tourists for its shopping options. Many tourists conclude their Darjeeling tour with a shopping expedition in Siliguri.

North Bengal is very much famous for its exotic handicrafts, and as Siliguri is the business hub of the north Bengal region, its markets are flooded with these creations. At the same time, handicrafts of Nepal and Bhutan are also found here at affordable prices. The array of handicrafts which crowd the markets of Siliguri include carpets, woolen garments, cane and bamboo crafts and furniture, wood crafted decorative products, pottery, handloom products, ornaments, embroidery works and jute products. Some handicrafts from Sikkim, foremost among which is the woolen carpets with fascinating motifs; motifs which are very much germane to the Sikkemese culture, can also be found in the busy markets of Siliguri. Or have a Choktse, the famous foldable table of Sikkim, to enhance your shopping experience.

Besides frequenting the shops at Hill Cart Road and Sevoke Road or the Hong Kong market, also visit the road side stalls of this quaint city to have the best of bargain and buys.
