Our Dooars Trip


Dooars is the place of lush green forests, sleepy hamlets and misty mountains, which makes it a traveler’s paradise. This time our destination was Murti: a small village at the fringe of Gorumara forest. We got down at New Mall Station and took a car to reach the village Murti. A small bridge on the river Murti, joins the village to the adjoining forest. We went to Samsing and Suntalekhola one day. Located in the undulating foothills of Himalayas, these are exotic tourist spots to enjoy the serenity of nature. The murmuring stream Suntalekhola flows down the hill. Another attraction is the orange orchard that you may come across, while travelling in this region. Dooars can take pride of its abundance of a variegated flora and fauna.There are a number of watch towers in Gorumara Reserve Forest, where from tourists can spot wildlife, if luck turns out to be favourable .These include, Chapramari , Medla , Jatraproshadand Chukchuki , We could see bisons at Chapramari.








 Another day we went Phuntshiling , on the way to Phuntshiling we visited Holong forest bun low , an exotic forest resort situated in the midst of forest.. Phuntshiling being the gate way to Bhutan , a day journey enabled us to have a taste of Bhutanese life there .

Kinnaur

Located on the Indo Tibetan border, surrounded by Tibet to the east, Garhwal Himalayan to the south is the beautiful Kinnaur district .About 200 km from Shimla ,  one enters the strikingly beautiful district of Kinnaur where the river Satluj carves deep gorges through the the high mountains. The Satluj river which rises on the southern slopes of Kailash mountain near Mansarover in Tibet flows through the Kinnaur valley. Our journey  began from Shimla , the state capital of Himachal . A day's journey along the river Satlej took us to Rampur which may be called the Gate way of Kinnaur . Near the Rampur market there is the king's palace which is worth seeing . From Rampur we went to Sangla , a small village surrounded by snow capped mountains on all side . A day's  journey took us to Chitkul , India's last village beyond which is Tibet .We stayed at Sangla for two days and then visited Kalpa , a hilly resort ,encircled by snow capped peaks like the KinnaurKailash. Our last destination was Sarahan , famous as a Hindu pilgrimage of this region .
