Cabs to Dooars

The Dooars are the forest and tea-garden plains east of the Teesta: Gorumara around Lataguri, Chapramari, Jaldapara near Madarihat, Chilapata, Buxa and Jayanti. The roads are flat — Lataguri is about 2 hours from Siliguri, Jaldapara about 4 — and the rhythm of a trip is set by safari timings.

Before you go

  • National parks usually close from mid-June to mid-September; jungle safaris are booked separately with the forest department.
  • Elephants can cross forest roads at dusk; drivers slow down and do not stop for photos there.
  • Lataguri, Murti and Samsing make a good two-night loop; Jaldapara pairs with Chilapata and Buxa.
