 Bindu
is only 107 km from Siliguri.
The last hamlet of West Bengal, Bindu is a valley encircled
with hills of Bhutan and India on the banks of river Jaldhaka.
It is a feast for the eyes and a stimulating experience for
the mind.
The road that leads to Bindu is in itself
an unforgettable experience. The Dooars
area starts immediately after you cross the Tista River at
Coronation Bridge. The whole region is extremely beautiful
with green vegetation all around. Most of the time you will
be traveling through the plain with the hills on your left
just a few hundred meters away. There is also the possibility
of sighting wild life on the way.
Bindu is a conglomeration of different aborigines.
The peace loving people of Bindu are engaged either in Elaichi
(Cardamom) or Suntala (Orange) cultivation. Terrace cultivation
is quite common here.
Just a few kilometers away from Bindu and
paren on an accentuated height is Godak village. On either
side of the road, you will find Cardamom and Orange plantation.
From here, you can have a view of the few villages of Bhutan,
Paren and Bindu. On the way to Godak Government has set up
a Cardamom Curing Centre for the farmers. |
