Murti- Photo blog

As part of phase I of a 7 night trip to Dooars, stayed for three nights at Murti Tents in Gorumara.  This, unlike the larger West Bengal Forest Development accommodation on the other side of the road, is quieter and closer to the river.  There are only four cottages- so a large travel group booking 3 or 4 cottages can practically own the place.  To add to the relaxation, the place has huge open land which adds to the ambience.  The Forest Department staff stay at another end of the property.  All meals are included in the package rate.  Food is freshly cooked by locals and is good.  Every evening, there is a local tribal dance program held in the lawns.  Perfect base for visiting Chapramari forest range and also for visiting Bindu/Jhallong.  More importantly, perfect place to relax.
