Buxa

Buxa Tiger Reserve, near the India-Bhutan border and contiguous with Manas National Park in Assam, is a place for hardcore wildlife. It is home to elephants, bison, sambar, barking, hog and chital deer, wild boars, wild buffalos, leopards and arguably, Tigers as well, though no sighting has been reported by the villagers in the recent past.

Go for the open jeep safaris organised by the Forest Department, which go to a watchtower 12 km inside the park. The best thing about Buxa is the treks that take you through the forest to hilltops, fort ruins, rivers and caves: Buxa Fort (18 km), Jayanti Caves (14 km) and Chhota Sinchula Peak (12 km).

Phuentsholing, a small border town in Bhutan, is the gateway to the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan. Indian tourists can cross over to Phuentsholing from Jaigaon. The town is about 45 minutes drive from Buxa Tiger Reserve.
