Birpara Your Perfect Travel Destination near Kolkata

Birpara is a small commercial town in the centre of the Dooars region of Jalpaiguri district. It is a hub for transportation and trade for the tea garden region of the area.Birpara got its name from the conjunction of two words. "Bir" stands for Veer (means brave) and "para" meaning place in Bengali. Initially there was no place called Birpara, and the place known as Birpara today was a part of another village called Dalgaon. This part was often visited by outlaws so people used to stay away from this place. However, gradually more and more people, who were initially mostly tea garden employees started to live here. They were called "Bir" people or brave people for daring to live in such place. Later on, it was given a separate identity.
