Mongpong

Teesta RiverA 45 minutes drive from Siliguri, your first step to Dooars. As you leave behind Siliguri and drive through the Mahananda Wild life Sanctuary, the noise of a modern civilisation slowly mixes with the melody of nature.

Cross the deep gorge of roaring Teesta over the historical Coronation Bridge at Sevoke and reach Mongpong, 30kms from Siliguri, for a completely different landscape. The mighty Teesta River, caged on both side by steep rock throughout its 200 odd kms journey from the snow-capped mountain of Sikkim, liberates itself at Mongpong.

Here it divides into several channels and flows through the lower marshy land of the sanctuary, providing an ideal breeding place for the migratory birds. Situated on the lofty bank of Teesta, Mongpong Forest Rest House offers a great panoramic view of the Mahananda Wild Life Sanctuary and the wide spread Teesta valley. The colour of the river changes as the Sun slowly hides behind the hills. The flocks of wild goose fly back to their nests. The sudden chorus of crickets and beetles animates the surrounding forests. A leopard roars nearby. And night falls at Mongpong. It is now time to return to your nest, one of the coziest ones in the region. Spend the rest of the night in complete peace.

 

Accommodation:

A limited accommodation is provided at the Mongpong forest Rest House, managed by the West Bengal Forest Development Corporation.

Best time to visit: Winter- from October to April.
Ideal time to visit for the bird lovers: - December-January. A large collection of Brahmini duck, Pin-tailed, poacherd, mallard, bar-headed goose comes here from the Central Asia and Ladhak.
