Medla Watchtower

Medla Watchtower is the buffer zone of Gorumara National Park. The watchtower is open for the tourists throughout the year. Crisscrossed by mountain rivers like – Murti, Jaldhaka and Dyana, the habitat around Medla is primarily grassland. On the backdrop of the vast expanse of grassland lies the majestic Mt. Kanchenjunga. Presence of grassland and water sources has allured Rhinos to Medla Camp. At present, there are 18 Rhinos at Medla. Saltlick at Medla is frequented by animals like – Gaur, Deer, Elephant and Wild Boar. Spot Hill Myna flit through the canopies or Purple Heron wading in the shallow waters. Medla has two tiers or viewing platforms with a concrete spiral stairway leading up to the tiers. For a better aerial view of the jungle, climb to the upper platform. In the mood for nothing? Take a break from your wild encounter as you soak up luminous sunset lit-up the Mt. Kanchenjunga with crimson and red. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the view from the watchtower hijacks your imagination.

Gajoldoba Wetlands

In winters Gajoldoba becomes the home of migrant birds and waders. The culmination of backwaters of River Teesta, Bakikunthapur forest, small islands (made of silt and mud) which crops-up and water-grass make Gajoldoba in an ideal destination for waders and other birds to flock around.

In winters migratory birds and waders congregate at Gajoldoba Wetlands. Presence of prey draws raptors and falcons. Falcons and raptors can be seen hovering over, perched on an uphill ready to play games with waders. Every year new species can be seen at Gajoldoba and number is increasing year on year.

Clean backgrounds and backdrop of Baikunthapur forest and Kanchenjunga helps to pop up the subject.

Gajoldoba’s long list of winter-meet attendees features the bar-headed goose, pochards, shoveller, grebes, large-cormorants and ducks in large numbers.

As the sun fades and goes below the horizon, elephants from Bakikunthapur forest head for sandy beaches of Teesta in search of water and fodder(hogla grass). If you are lucky you may get silhouette shot of a tusker with Bakikunthapur forest on the background.

Jalpesh & Jatileshwar

Jalpesh – an old temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is located at a distance of around 15 km from Jalpaiguri town. It was built by the last successor of King Baghadatta, called Jalpash, who built the temple around 800 AD. The temple bears a long history to trace back. Bhaktiyar Khilji, when invaded Kamrup, destroyed this temple of Jalpesh. However, one of the Kings of Bhutan again restored it in the 12th century. But subsequently, the temple was lost in the jungle. Again, in the year 1665, King Pranannarayan of the Cooch Behar dynasty excavated the temple site and re-established the temple.

Jatileshwar – This famous temple of Dooars area of North Bengal is one of the oldest temples of the region. It has religious as well as historic significance. The main temple was built during the time of the Gupta rulers of Bengal around 320 AD to 600 AD. The temple is dedicated to Jatileswar or Lord Shiva.
