Gorumara National Park
Gorumara National Park one of the best National Parks of Dooars. Sighting frequency in Gorumara historically has been more in comparison to other National Park’s of Dooars, the reason behind this is probably the size of the park – 80 sq km, much smaller in comparison to Jaldapara and other wildlife destinations of Dooars.Jaldapara National Park
Drained by rivers Torsa, Malangi, Hollong and Buri Torsa, the park provides extensive grassland which is the abode to a wide variety of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and avian life.Jaldapara is the home to one-horned rhinoceros and one of the last few refuges of this endangered species. Elephants, Gaur, Deers, Leopard, Wild Boar and host of avian species like Hornbills, Eagles and Raptors play their games at Jaldapara.
Chilapata
Chilapata derives its name from the famous and a brave-heart general of Cooch kingdom – Chila Ray. Ruins of the fort of Nal Kings can be found inside the forest. The major part of the fort is beneath the soil, only the main entrance stands stall with its head held high, an epitome of erstwhile glory of Gupta period. The remains of the fort along with its boundary walls are gradually sinking beneath the soil inch by inch. It’s hard to comment on the fate of this historic site. The folklore goes like this – The fort was destroyed and buried due to a curse. Some loyal guards of the fort decided to transform into trees and guard the fort and its treasure till eternity.Hold on, this is not the end, and there are trees called “Ramgua” which actually bleeds. Sticky blood-like fluid oozes out it the bark of the tree is scratched. Another intriguing part of the story is that – Ramgua trees are only found near the fort premises and not found elsewhere in the forest.
Sikiajhora
Sikiajhora is called the “Sunderban of Noth-Bengal”. Sikiajhora is a rivulet which meanders through the Buxa Tiger Reserve and enters the plains of Dooars to meet another stream Bala, which too originates from the Jayanti Hills and Buxa Forest.There is a small park maintained by local women group. You can take a tour on a country boat here on a narrow channel (which is the Sikiajhora stream) and go deep inside the forest, watch birds, reptiles and sometimes even wildlife from the boat.
