Lataguri Experience: Scenic beauty is the first and last word for Lataguri. Gorumara jungle is a very precious place for a nature and wildlife lovers. Although it is matter of luck for one to find wild animals within this short trip but the beauty of forest wont deprive anyone..

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Best option for food is to take food in restaurants in Resorts and Hotels. Every hotel has its own restaurant. Besides that many stalls are there on the road for snacks and beverages. The quality of the food was very much hygienic in every restaurant as there was very little pollution..

Activities & things to do: If one is a nature and wildlife lover he can visit the gorumara and Chapramari forest and can enjoy his safari or visit watchtowers if someone just want to take rest it a also a suitable place for him. see, eat and enjoy..

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Sealdah one can reach easily to hasimara by Knchankanya Exp and from their just hire a taxi and straight to Lataguri Keep mosquito ointments while visiting the forests. In winter season the temperature found quite lower than kolkata so take more warm cloths..

"A wonderful Forest experience"

Posted by A. MAITRO
Jan 29, 2013

Lataguri Experience: Hotel Dreamland in Lataguri is set amidst a dense forest - in its periphery. Air connectivity till Bagdogra is very smooth. From Bagdogra, it is about 2 hours drive. The road is silk smooth, passing through the verdant picture-postcard green tea gardens of Dooars. Last 20 km drive is through dense forest, National highway cutting through it. It sets the tone of things to come. At hotel, jungle safari was excellent. An elephant also was sighted at the jungle, while taking morning tea at the hotel.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is in-house only and excellent. Nothing for shopping.People do not come to jungle trip for shopping. Elephants, tigers or rhinos do not make a good shopping list !

Activities & things to do: Jungle safari. However, Hotel offers many indoor facilities with boating and children park with usual staff.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Be sure that reaching to hotel (from Bagdogra of New Jalpaiguri Rly. St.) is pre arranged. Hotels themselves arrange these on a reasonable payment. From here, you can make a detour to Tea Garden tourism. Several Tea Gardens offer this package. These tea gardens are situated near by ( 50 Km radius).

Lataguri Experience: Amazing place. Must visit Bhutan Samtse, Sevak, and many other such spots around, including the Dooars tea estates. However, choose a standard resort such as the Hathiyana Resort or the Sonar bangla. Perfect place to spend a few days out of the hustle bustle of city!

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Momo, soup, thukpa and traditional bengali food is good.

Activities & things to do: Site seeing, trekking, and of course shopping.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Ensure that you dont overpay for your site seeing. A big car like Sumo should ideally charge around 2000/day for site seeing from early morning to 4.30 in the evening and so forth.

"Nice experience"

Posted by Gazi N
Siliguri
Nov 13, 2012

Lataguri Experience: Yesterday I was in Lataguri and found the place to be very peaceful and serene. There are resorts of various standards and most of them seems to be of good quality. Don't waste your valuable time by taking the jungle safari since its a futile exercise as there are hardly any wild animals to be seen in that jungle and too many Gypsies moving around and as such disturbing the ecobalance and causing pollution. There are parks and good restaurants for your family to enjoy. Overall a nice outing.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is good in most of the restaurants. Shopping can be done in some roadside outlets selling mementos. Try to get a good bargain.

Activities & things to do: A good place to take your family. I would suggest a group of 2-3 families going together and have a good time there.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Can be reached from Siliguri by car. Its 80 Kms via Chalsa and takes about 2-3 hours. Road condition is good at present.
