The Salt Pit - Jalpaiguri District

I visited Gorumara National Park for the first time and went on a jungle safari by gypsy. The cost was 1935 for six people including a guide. The experience was enjoyable, however we had bad luck as we did not see any animals except for some birds like hornbills and peacocks. Despite not meeting my expectations, the overall experience was still good.

The safari experience at this location is a peaceful and beautiful stretch of greenery and fresh air. It is a must-see attraction and one of the most important sights in the area. The safari is available at three different timings: 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 2 o'clock. The early morning slot at 6am is recommended for the best safari experience. Entry prices are Rs.450 per person, which includes a guide, plus an additional Rs.150 per vehicle entry fee. Each vehicle, which is an open gypsy jeep, can accommodate 4 passengers and 1 driver. It is important to stay in touch to secure tickets and remember to bring a copy of your Aadhar card or other identification. It is recommended to arrive early to ensure a spot in line, as there are about 20 vehicles per time slot. The ticket counter is located approximately 1 km from Lake View Resort in the direction of the market. Though sightings of animals may vary depending on luck, missing out on the wildlife experience would be a shame. There are 25 different species of orchids to be found here in addition to many other trees worth admiring. Within the forest, there are also two villages. The journey through the lush greenery and the constant flow of cool breeze is perfect for any nature lover and can be a soul-cleansing experience. This is a must-visit destination for those seeking a blend of elevation, forests, small rivers, and a tranquil environment in the heart of nature.
