Alipurduar, Feb. 3, 2006: There is good news for low-budget tourists wanting to visit the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Forest officials plan to upgrade the two buildings in the reserve for accommodating tourists who cannot afford the higher prices of bungalows and rest houses managed by the WBFDC and the state forest department.

Among the two is the unused hostel for forest staffs in Damanpur which will be renovated for the purpose. The new rest house will accommodate 25 people and the lodging charges will be around Rs 200. Food will be served by the members of the local forest protection committee. The second rest house will come up near the Buxa Fort which can accommodate at least 20 people.

The Field director of the reserve opined that this will provide a great opportunity for tourists to enjoy the wildlife in the Buxa Tiger Reserve at very cheap rates. Work is scheduled to start soon on the project.
