Coracle rides and Safari: Dooars have it all

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.
