Jayanti: The Enchanting Forest of the Dooars
Deemed as the “Queen of Dooars”, Jayanti is an enthralling beautiful forest hamlet located 30 km from Alipurduar in the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. It is situated along the Jayanti River bordering the worldwide famous Buxa Reserve Forest. This is one of the last untouched pristine destinations of Dooars overlooking nature’s bountiful beauty- the lush green dense forest, the once untamed river and the far off hills. Although the Jayanti River remains dry most of the time in a year, the white stone pebbles are strewn all over the river bed and its shores, still form the natural border between the daunting Bhutan Hills. On the eastern side of the river lies the Jayanti Hills while on the western side lies serenely delightful Jayanti village.
The Buxa Tiger Reserve:
Spread over an area of 759 square km, this Reserve Forest not only boasts of having a diversified wildlife existence but also nestles a variety of landscapes too. This Reserve is the largest in the Dooars region and forms a border between Assam and Bhutan. A number of rivers and their tributaries run through this forest creating a comfortable home for birds and animals. In fact, there are a number of unexplored parts in the Buxa Hills, as they lie in the Sinchula Range and are hence not within the reach of the forest authorities.

The Buxa Reserve is the home for 67 different species of mammals, 36 species of reptiles and most importantly 230 types of birds which are still unidentified. This largest Reserve in the Dooars is enriched with floral diversity too. It circumscribes more than eight types of forests. The greatest significance of this Forest Reserve is that it is the pathway for the elephants which migrate between India and Bhutan as the Bhutanese Phipsu Wildlife Sanctuary is nothing but a continuity of the Buxa Tiger Reserve.
