Day 3 : Morning drive to Jaldhaka, Jhalong on Bhutan border. All the places are lesser-known-lower-hill-stations and offer an unimaginable landscape and peace - the true essence of Dooars. A drive to these areas in the monsoon in particular can be a lifetime experience; as the rivers, streams, fountains greet you with full enthusiasm. Drive to Lataguri. Overnight halt: Lataguri.

Day 4 : Visit Gorumara forests in the morning. As you pass through the dense forests you may come across of a leopard licking its paw on a tree or a herd of elephants crossing your way. Watch out! After reaching the main center of the park you will be taken to the much-awaited watchtower. From the top of tower you will get a panoramic view of almost the entire park and the vast grassland. The rhinos leisurely coming to taste the salted soil below the tower, the gaurs or the Indian bison grazing at the distant meadow, a spotted deer suddenly jumps over a small stream and vanishes in the jungle, a flock of hornbill flies away, the monkeys become very active all of a sudden, an elephant trumpets nearby-the mood of the forest changes. Wait and be silent, you are going to experience a priceless sight of a majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, creeping out from a bush to drink water. Overnight at - Lataguri.

Day 5 : Drive to Jaldapara via Chapramari forests. Jaldapara is famous for its diverse collection of flora and fauna.
