Dooars
Buxa Tiger Reserve lies in the northeast corner of West Bengal. It is contiguous with the forests of Greater Manas Sanctuary, the buffer zone of Manas Tiger Reserve in Assam, and other reserve forest areas along the Indo-Bhutanese border.
Most of the reserve lies in the plains; only the northern tracts are hilly, and the northern boundary follows the Bhutan border. There is continuous forest from the plains to nearly 2,000 m at the border, and forest cover probably continues to the 4,066 m Tale La in Bhutan.
Special features: This trek route is through the reserve forest in the Indian part of the Bhutan Himalaya, which helps you understand the birds, insects, plants, history, culture, Buddhism, and wilderness.
Santrabari or Santalabari, named after the Santola (Orange), is a weekly market (on Tuesday only) for exchanging and purchasing goods in the local communities of hills and foothills. Buxa Fort still bears the witness of the Indian Freedom Movement in Pagsamkha or Buxa (Baksha), where the Heritage Post Office is located on the highest point of the Dooars.
Lapchakha is the most beautiful village in the Dooars, also known as the Paradise of the Dooars. Tashigang, being a small village, is placed on the International Bird Network list for its bird population. Pumtsey La means the highest barren peak. Pumtsey is the highest point of the Buxa hill series and of the Dooars.
