Alipurduar,
Sept. 29: Visitors can get a taste of the `wild nightlife`
in Dooars this Puja.
The eco-tourism centre in Khairbari is gaining popularity in the
sub-division. Taking this into account, the forest officials have
decided to set up jungle-tents for tourists. Visitors can go for
a safari through the leopard centre and take a coracle ride down
the Buri Torsha before withdrawing to their tents.
Three jungle tents will be set up on the banks of the Buri Torsha
- a tributary of the Torsha - flowing through the tourism
centre. It will be equipped with all modern amenities. Double-bed
tents will be available at Rs 500 per night.
The coracle rides across the Buri Torsha are expected to be a huge
attraction. Coracles, which are very popular in South India, are
round-shaped, bamboo-paddled boats; fun to go for rides across the
river.
