driven to your hotel/resort at Lataguri. This place is close to the Garumara
National Park. We prefer to put up our guests in hotels/resorts which give you
a feeling of being either in the forest or in a tea garden.

afternoon, we take you to get a feel of 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)

reservoir.

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.
