The Rhino Country
Ground notes

Why Jaldapara & Buxa?

Jaldapara National Park is home to the largest population of one-horned rhinos in West Bengal — over 250 animals spread across a sal-forest grassland at the foot of the Bhutan hills. Fifty kilometres east, Buxa Tiger Reserve is wilder and less visited: a tiger-corridor forest where the 19th-century Buxa Fort crumbles on a ridge above the jungle. Two days in Jaldapara and one night at Buxa Duar forest camp is the best wildlife weekend in North Bengal.

Insider tip

Book the elephant safari through the forest department — private operators use vehicles. The forest department elephants move quieter and get you closer.
