COOCHBEHAR - NEPAL

NBSTC's Nepal journey starts today

 

COOCH BEHAR, Oct. 23: North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) is going to expand its services to neighbouring Nepal. It will introduce the service from Friday morning.

 

Following the NBSTC's plan to develop its tourism service a luxurious tourist bus will leave Cooch Behar towards Nepal on Friday for a five-night six-day journey. This is the first time the NBSTC is going to Nepal. Already it has tourist services to another neighbouring country – Bhutan.

 

Divisional manager of the NBSTC's Cooch Behar division, Mr Subrata Biswas said the proposed Cooch Behar –Birganj –Kathmandu –Pokhra journey would cost a tourist Rs 6,050 only. During the journey the tourists will be able to enjoy the scenic beauty of the region and experience visiting many places of historic interest.

 

Mentionworthy, the NBSTC's three-night four-day Bhutan trip from Cooch Behar to Thimphu and Paro costs a visitor Rs 4,100 only. Like the other tourist routes of the NBSTC the Cooch Behar-Nepal tour plan may also attract tourists, Mr Biswas believes. []
