 Mongpong
A half an hour drive from Siliguri
on NH31 via Sevok will take you to Mongpong-your first step
to Dooars. Situated on the lofty bank of great Tista
River Mongpong is a very attractive spot offering lovely
view of huge Tista basin and Mahananda
Sanctuary.
Mongpong although is a very small place having few shops, huts
and a forest check post, but is not dearth of natural beauty.
The beautifully built forest rest house among the tall Sal forests
overlooking the Tista River is an ideal place for spending a
relaxed night in the natural surroundings. The call of beetles
and cricket on a pitch dark night glittered with numerous fireflies
can be a real wild feeling.
There is a nature recreation center on the
bank of Tista - a very popular place for picnickers and day
visitors.
The forest department provides the only accommodation in the
Wilderness Resorts, where a 4 roomed bungalow and two separate
cottages are available for tourist.
 Important
information:
naturebeyond provides booking in all these resorts and bungalows
and organizes customize packages in Dooars and its surrounding
places.
Because of inadequate accommodation to cater
the increasing rush of tourist in Mongpong an early confirmation
is required to avail the room particularly during April-May
and Oct-Nov period.
