About Gorumara Wildlife
Sanctuary
Yo u
cannot afford to miss Gorumara in your trip to Dooars. A one-hour
journey from Samsing through the winding roads takes you to deep
inside the park. Located on the bank of Murti River the National Park
has a large variety of flora and fauna. The grassland of Gorumara is
famous for Asiatic one-horned rhino. The watchtower beside the Forest
Rest House gives a panoramic view of the entire park and the Murti
Valley. The tower is the best place to observe wild animals like
rhino, elephant, bison and deer as they regularly come to the salt
reservoir just below the tower. Visitors can obtain a special
permission to enter into the core area of the park.
Many hospitable private resorts have come up in the recent years in
adjacent Lataguri town to meet the ever-growing demand of the
tourists. Day visit to the park and to the Chapramari Wild Life
Sanctuary is arranged by nature beyond.
Accommodation is also provided for the tourists at the Murti Tourist
Center just at the other side of the park. Situated on the bank of
Murti River with a frontal view of Tondu forests, the Murti tourist
center is the most luxurious forest rest house in North Bengal.
You can make your base in Murti to explore the less tourist trodden
wonders of Dooars and lower Kalimpong hills like Chapramari Wild Life
Sanctuary, Jaldhaka, Jhalong, Bindu, Paren, Caron, Diana, Jaldapara
and even Bhutan |
