The NBSTC is now venturing a hitherto unexplored area of Tourism activities by exploiting the tourism potentials of West Bengal, Sikkim, Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa, North-eastern states and also the neighboring countries like Bhutan and Nepal from the year 2009 which was named as "Sabuj-er Pathe Hatchhani" with the help of some well-skilled Officers, Staffs and Drivers of the NBSTC. The overwhelming response that the corporation received from the tour lovers on inception of the various tour programmes from its Head quarter at Cooch Behar has encouraged us to organise tour programmes from all important Divisions and Depots.

We are presenting a complete profile of our organization with all necessary informations about our tourism initiative. As a Government undertaking we are committed to extend safety and security to the participants in our tour programmes and hope to earn their faith and reliance on us.
