Jayanti, Buxa and Sikiajhora are among the most beautiful destinations in the eastern Dooars, offering travellers a wonderful combination of forests, rivers, hills, wildlife and peaceful natural surroundings. Located around the Buxa landscape of Alipurduar district, these destinations are ideal for travellers who want to experience the quieter and more adventurous side of North Bengal. Together, they provide an unforgettable journey through one of the region’s most scenic forest environments.
Jayanti is a picturesque riverside destination situated beside the Jayanti River, with the Bhutan hills forming a spectacular backdrop. During the dry season, the wide riverbed creates a beautiful landscape of white stones and flowing streams, while the surrounding forests add to the area's natural charm. Jayanti is a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers and travellers looking for a peaceful escape.
Buxa Tiger Reserve is one of the important protected forest landscapes of North Bengal, featuring dense forests, hills, rivers and rich biodiversity. The Buxa landscape supports a variety of wildlife and bird species and is an important part of the larger forest ecosystem of the Dooars. Visitors can explore permitted areas through authorised forest activities and experience the beauty of the forest under the guidance of local authorities.
Sikiajhora is another fascinating destination in the Buxa landscape, known for its beautiful wetland and forest surroundings.
