Why This Small Indian City Is So Important | Siliguri Vlog 2025 | Chicken’s Neck Explained

In this vlog, I explore Siliguri, a city in West Bengal that might look small on the map — but it's one of the most strategically important locations in India.

Known as the "Chicken’s Neck" or the Siliguri Corridor, this narrow strip of land connects mainland India to the entire Northeast. But what makes it even crazier is — Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and even China are just around the corner from here!

📍 From Siliguri, you can travel to Darjeeling, Gangtok, Kalimpong, and even enter Bhutan.
This is not just a travel vlog — it's a deep dive into one of India’s most critical geopolitical hotspots.
