Day 2 : Excursion to Samsing, Sunthalekhola.

After breakfast, we take you for an excursion to Samsing & Sunthalekhola. Samsing is a tea estate in the Dooars and a small locality of about 100 houses surrounding the tea gardens. On the top of the hill there is a beautiful Guesthouse. The silence of the place is disturbed only by the noise of the gurgling river Murti, which flows about half a kilometer below. The drive to Samsing is through lush green tea gardens and the descending mist on the tea gardens during the monsoons is a sight to behold. It is a great spot to watch birds.

Suntalekhola or Suntaley Khola (also Suntaleykhola) is a small village and a tourist spot in the Darjeeling District of West Bengal. The altitude of the place ranges from 650 to 950 m. It gets its name from a small stream: Suntaley Khola. In Nepali, Suntaley means orange and khola means stream. This place is nearly 5 km from Samsing.  The green patch on the left side of the way to Suntalekhola is amazing and holds many rarities of birds and butterflies.

After you return from the trip, late in the afternoon, we take you for a visit of a watchtower in the forest. Depending upon the availability of tickets/entry passes, we would take you to any one of the following watchtowers at:

·        Jatraprasad (Evening trip accompanied with tribal dance)

·        Medla

·        Chukchuki, or

·        Jungle Safari which includes a visit to the Mahakal water reservoir.
