3-star hotels in Koch Bihar
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Koch Bihar, from a 4.4-rated address on Raj Rajendra Narayan Road to forest resorts near Chilapata and Jaldapara. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a comfortable base for the palace, the temples and North Bengal's wildlife.
Staying in Koch Bihar
Koch Bihar is the former capital of the princely state of Cooch Behar, and its royal heritage still shapes a visit: the Cooch Behar Palace and the Madan Mohan Temple are the main draws, with parks, museums, wildlife sanctuaries and tea gardens within reach on the Terai and the Assam border. The town is well placed for exploring North Bengal, and local food leans on Bengali and Rajbanshi cooking, with rice, fish and lentils as staples.
The hotels here sit in and around the town as well as out towards the forest belt. Capital O Hotel Stay In, Hotel Prova, Hotel Heritage, Spot On Embassy and Hotel Maharani Palace have addresses in Koch Bihar town, the last opposite Cooch Behar Palace. Several others are further out along the Alipurduar side, at Madarihat, Chilapata and Kharibari. Town addresses suit couples and business travellers who want the palace and temples close by; the forest resorts suit families and wildlife-focused breaks, with Chilapata Forest and Jaldapara on the doorstep.
