The Chapramari forest is located near the NH31 connecting north-east with
the rest of India. As you cross river Tista on your way into Dooars,
you reach the famous Chapramari sanctuary. A huge variety of flora
and fauna covers the forests. Chapramari is famous for its elephant
population.
Gaur (commonly known as Indian Bison) is quite common around this region. Albeit few in number, the forests
are also home of the famous Royal Bengal Tiger. Different other
varieties of deer, reptiles and other animals can be easily seen
around here. The place is a heaven for bird watchers.
Chapramari is close to the Gorumara national
park near Chapramari. If you are staying at Lataguri, you can
visit Chapramari from there. Chapramari is about 30 km from Chalsa and Lataguri.
There is a nice forest bungalow on the river bank of Murti. From
this bungalow you can see elephants and other animals during the early
morning and evening hours. |
