Chilapata Forest Travelogue: Beauty of Woodland with Thrills

Posted by Hungry Tourer | Jan 11, 2024 | Travelogue | 0 |

Chilapata Forest Travelogue: Beauty of Woodland with Thrills

Chilapata forest safari has been one of my dreams since my childhood. To explore my dream, I went to Chilapata forest on 24 November 2023.

If you love exploring dense forests and witnessing the beauty of wildlife, Chilapata forest might be an ideal one for you.

Chilapata forest is a famous dense forest located in North Bengal. Chilapata forest is very close to Jaldapara National Park, which is situated in Dooars.

In recent times, ‘Dooars’ has become more popular among tourists. Many people from various corners of the country come here for jungle safari.

Due to YouTube and social media, people know various places. I am one of them. So, when I went to Chilapata, I was very excited.

Before sharing my experience, let’s know some basics about Dooars.

Dooars is an alluvial floodplain in the northwestern region of India. The name Dooars signifies the gateway of Bhutan, one of India’s most popular neighboring countries.

Chilapata Forest is an elephant corridor between Buxa Tiger Reserve and Jaldapara National Park. The journey to discover new species is going on in this dense forest.

Chilapata Forest Travelogue: Day 1

I started my journey from Kalimpong on 24 November 2023. It was a long journey from Kalimpong to Chilapata. My trip was by cab.

Though I started my whole North Bengal journey three days ago, my first day was ‘Darjeeling’ via ‘Mirik.’ On the second day, I was in ‘Sittong,’ and on the third day, I was in Kalimpong.

So I experienced the diversity of nature, a variety of weather, natural beauty, and obviously, the food and lifestyle.

After around 7 hours of my long journey, I reached a resort near Mendabari. I booked a jungle safari before coming to Mendabari, so after getting the homestay, I contacted them.

As I reached the evening (almost) and tired, I decided to take a rest.

While I rested at ‘homestay,’ I experienced the forest ambiance. The peacocks were nearby.

It was a thrilling and outstanding experience in my life.

Being a wanderlust, I want to explore the offbeat and unseen beauties of nature.

Let’s share some information with you.

How to Reach Chilapata Forest

The best route is by train (I enjoyed it while returning from Dooars). You can catch a train from either New Jalpaiguri or Siliguri if you want to start from NJP or nearby.

From wherever you start, from Howrah to Sealdah, you need to reach New Alipurduar Junction Railway Station.

Many trains are available on this route.

You can enjoy the Vistadom experience here on this route.

You can reach Hasimara by train as well.

If you plan to go by airplane, you can reach Bagdogra and then pick a cab. Now you can avail Cooch Behar by flight.

The journey might be long, but the natural beauty around you makes you happy.

After reaching any nearby location of Chilapata forest (I stayed at Mendabari), you can start your jungle safari.

The best one is booking a jungle safari online. It saves you time and makes you comfortable while you plan to explore Chilapata Forest.

What is Costing of the Chilapata Jungle Safari

The Chilapata jungle safari charges depend on where you stay. As I remained in Mendabari, my cost was around INR 800.

For Chilapata Jungle Safari, you need to book a Jeep (or a safari cab). The Chilapata Jungle safari whole cab cost 4800 (divided into six persons).

There were six people in total.

Here, you must know one thing. The location of Chilapata Forest from your hotel or homestay matters in pricing. The nearer the Chilapata Forest, the less charges.

How Much is Hotel or Home Stay in Chilapata

You can only stay directly at Chilapata if you have a special license because Chilapata Forest is a reserved area.

For your information, I share mine and can give you an assumption.

I stayed at a ‘homestay’ at Mendabari in a double sharing room at INR 2124 (INR 1800+18%GST) only for lodging.

Folding charges were extra. It depends on what type of food you order.

The average folding cost is approximately INR 600/day/person.

The ‘hotel’ and ‘homestay’ charges depend on various factors like location, amenities, season, etc. The average cost of a hotel is around INR 2000.

Chilapata Forest Safari: Day 2

On day 2, 25 November 2023, I woke up at 5 am. The safari timing was at 6 O’clock.

I was very excited because this would be my first time experiencing a Jungle safari.

As per our Chilapata Jungle safari, the safari timing is around 1.30 hours. However, you can book a whole day with special permission and charges.

It was a bitterly cold morning. The temperature was around 12 degrees centigrade. But while I stood holding the Jeep hood, the wind speed and temperature were about 5 degrees centigrade.

However, with excitement, our Jeep entered the Chilapata Forest, and there, the officials checked our permission.

It took hardly 10 minutes. Then, our Jeep entered a dense forest.

Being woodland, the Chilapata Forest is dense. As it was early morning, sometimes the sunlight was dim.

I enjoyed the whole ride. The jungle itself is beautiful. I have never experienced any reserve forest before. So my excitement was very high.

Though the prime attraction was witnessing wildlife, I hardly saw a few animals.

A couple of Indian gaurs, some peacocks, some deer, an elephant (from the back), one wild pig, and some birds.

The mesmerizing thing is that we are in a cage, and wildlife is free in the Chilapata Jungle safari. I want nature to be free. Even I am against the Zoo because the animals are captive there.

I have seen the ‘Nalrajya Garh’, one of the oldest fort built in fifth century C.E. during the Gupta Period. Now almost ruin is there.

Though many other species are available in Chilapata Forest, you need to be lucky to witness them.

I learned from the safari guide that the ideal time to witness wildlife, mainly leopards, elephants, and rhinoceros, is summer because they come out of the dense jungle to the nearby safari roads.

I came to know that the road near Chilapata Forest goes to Bhutan. I had seen many cabs with Bhutan number plates.

I came back at about 8 O’clock from the Chilapata Jungle safari with happiness.

Some important information about the Chilapata Jungle safari may help you.

What is the Best Time to Chilapata Jungle Safari

Ideally, the best time for the Chilapata jungle safari is summer if you want to meet (see) wildlife. In general, Chilapata Forest is open almost the whole year except August and September.

Monsoon is the breeding season in forests in India. So, you can go to Chilapata Forest anytime except during the monsoon.

The ideal time to enjoy the weather and wildlife is spring, more specifically, the end of spring.

How Many Safaris Available in a Day

From my knowledge and experience, there are four trips a day. These four are:

All safari timing may change. So check once before choosing one. Generally, the ideal time of the safari is 1.30 hours each.

This is another interesting piece of information I love to share.

Do you know which safari is best for seeing wildlife?

Probably the morning (6 am) and late afternoon (3.30 pm)

However, it depends on various factors.

Is Single Chilapata Safari Enough to Witness Wildlife

Many tourists ask, is a single Chilapata Forest safari enough to witness wildlife? It entirely depends on you.

There is no guarantee that you can see wildlife on several visits. But yes, there is a high chance of witnessing them.

If you love wildlife and want to witness them closely, you can try several times. Finally, everything is on your luck because nature doesn’t care about you.

What Documents Required for Jungle Pass

For the Chilapata Forest safari, the tourist must carry their original photo identity cards, like Passport Aadhar Card Voter ID Card Driving License Others

Leave Chilapata for Jayanti with an Unexpected Experience

In the second half of the day, I left Chilapata and went to Jayanti. Jayanti is another beautiful Dooars offbeat destination you can explore. Before leaving Chilapata, I would like to share some information about what happened with me (us).

In the afternoon, before lunch, three forest officials came to our ‘homestay’.

You may think it is natural, but no.

Two of our neighboring tourists from the same homestay are in the restricted area of the Chilapata forest.

As per the forest officials’ timing, they entered the forest after 2-3 hours of jungle safari .

Due to that, the forest officials came to enquire about the whole thing in detail. There were four, and all cooperated with the inquiry.

Surprisingly, I (we) came to know that the ‘homestay’ was not registered, though I booked online through their Kolkata Office.

At the time of booking, they (the company) told us that it was their new property but did not say it was unregistered.

Knowingly, the company cheated us. First time I experienced it.

Due to security, I don’t disclose the name of the company and ‘homestay’ where I (we) stayed, but I have a request.

Please check if your hotel or ‘homestay’ is registered and has proper documentation.

My Final Thought

If you love wildlife and want to explore the forest, the Chilapata forest may be ideal. Every year, many tourists visit this beautiful woodland forest to quench their thirst for witnessing the woodland beauty. I have shared my experience in this article. I hope this article helps you to make the outstanding Chilapata Forest safari plan.

Chilapata Travel Guide

Are you a travel enthusiast who likes forest and wildlife? If the answer is yes, then Chilapata forest should be high on your destination list.

Chilapata is a dense forest which gives you a chance to enjoy the thrill of seeing wild lives in their natural habitat. Chilapata forest is a relatively new destination for tourists. It is located in Dooars region of West Bengal.

This guide will provide all the required information that you need to plan your visit to Chilapata forest. 

Ready for that? 

For creating a good plan that suits your travel style and personal preferences, you need to understand – – Chilapata overview – How to reach Chilapata forest – Chilapata weather and temperature – What to see – What to do

Chilapata Forest is a dense natural forest. It is an elephant corridor between Jaldapara National Park and Buxa Tiger Reserve. Chilapata is located in Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. It is about 38 km away from New Alipurduar and very close to Hasimara town. This place is also very close to the more famous Jaldapara National Park. 

Chilapata is a dense forest. A drive through the forests is an enthralling experience. As river Torsa flows down from the hills, it travels through the plains of Dooars and divides the continuous stretch of forest into Jaldapara and Chilapata.

Jaldapara has traditionally been more popular destination for tourists for its population of one horned rhino and elephant. On the other hand, Chilapata has gained popularity only in the recent past. Until recently, the area was known for dacoity , but it is now safe for tourists.

It is said that this area was under the Cooch Kings. The place has derived its name from the name of the great solder CHILA RAY who was the army-chief of Cooch kingdom.

The Chilapata forest is very rich in wildlife. New species continue to be found here. In addition to one horned Rhinoceros, Elephants and Leopards are also found in good numbers. Chilapata Forest is also a hub of other wild animals like Indian Bison, Sambar, Hog-deer, Barking-deer Wild Pig Hispid hare and Bison.

Chilapata is also a world of colorful and beautiful birds like Fishing-eagle, Shikra, Crested Eagle, Jungle-fowl  Peafowl, Partridge, Bengal florican, Paradise Flycatcher, Racket-tailed Drongo and Pied Horn-bill. The forest is never at ease due to the continuous fluttering of  birds.

Reptiles like Python, Krait, Cobra, Water monitor and freshwater turtles enrich the wildlife of the Chilapata forest.

It is hoped that eco-tourism will provide a new source of income for the indigenous Rabha people, who depends on the forest for their lives and livelihood.

How To Reach Chilapata Forest

Nearest airport for Chilapata is Bagdogra and nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri . From Bagdogra, distance of Chilapata is 165 km and from New Jalpaiguri, it is 150 km by road.

Bagdogra and New Jalpaiguri is well connected via air and rail from most of the major cities of India. Once you reach either of these two transport hubs, you will proceed further towards Chilapata.

Another option to reduce the road journey from New Jalpaiguri is to reach New Alipurduar or Hasimara directly by train . New Alipurduar is at a distance of 38 km and Hasimara 13 km from Chilapata forest.

Though there are local buses available, having a car for this route will be most convenient for the tourists. Depending on no of people in the group, one may hire a car that will comfortably accommodate all the people. A SUV type car or a jeep is preferred in this route. If you are planning on a limited budget, look for point to point share jeeps . 

From Bagdogra or New Jalpaiguri, most common route for Chilapata is via Fulbari – Oodlabari – Malbazar – Hasimara . It takes around 4 to 5 hrs including tea breaks to reach Chilapata via this route.

Chilapata forest weather, chilapata forest temperature, best time to visit chilapata forest.

October – February (Winter) Winter is the best time to visit Chilapata Forest. This is because – i) Very less chances of shower and the sky remains clear. It is easy to go for Jungle Safari and see the wild animals. ii) Temperature is perfect for exploring the surrounding places.

March – May (Summer) During summer months, Chilapata experiences high temperature going up to mid thirties. Along with the heat, higher humidity level adds up to the discomfort factor. People gets exhausted very easily. On the other hand, chances of seeing wild animals are more in the hot summer months. In general, summer is a low season for tourism.

June – September (Monsoon) Like other forests, Chilapata remains closed for tourists from 16-Jun to 15-Sep. The rain starts in June and continues till September, sometimes till mid of October. Heavy and regular rainfall makes movement very difficult.  There are also increased risk of snakes and other insects. Jungle Safari remains suspended  during this period.

Chilapata Forest has a healthy population of wild elephants, leopards and wild pigs. Chilapata is around an hour’s drive from Alipurduar town. This area is mostly dense jungle with mud-paved tracks overgrown with vegetation. The thick forest canopy hardly allows any sunlight to enter and even at noon this place is dark like evening. And in this darkness lurks the animals. Enjoy safely!

Things to do in Chilapata Forest

You can also simply enjoy the thick forest greenery in the winter season by driving down the jungle alleys. The guests can enjoy elephant safaris as well as jeep safaris in Chilapata Forest. You can enjoy on the banks of a small hilly stream and a wooden bridge over it. You can take Tonga rides through the Mathura tea garden too. Boating on the Bania River and angling on the confluence of the Kalchini, Bania and Buri Basra are other fun options in Chilapata.

Wildlife from the watchtowers is the best option here. These towers are near water bodies where animals come for a drink. The animals also love a salt lick during hot summer months and so small heaps of salt are arranged by the authorities to attract them. One of the “must visit” is a watch tower overlooking the Torsha River. If you are lucky you may spot a rhino on the river bed, hiding in the tall grass. And then of course these grassy lands are home to elephants. But near the watch tower there are mostly trained ones, locally known as the “Kunki”. The tall grass growths are also the hidey hole of leopards. If you want a photo, get the perfect camera that can zoom into anything from the watchtower. It is better not to get close to the river or grassy lands.

Chilapata Forest Sightseeing

The forest bungalow here is an attraction in itself as it dates back to the British rule in India. There is a well-maintained and interesting log book that one can read to know more about the bungalow. Though there is no habitation in the park, there are many ethnic people in surrounding villages like Saraswati, Budhuram, Bichabhanga, Chatua, Kailipur and Murid. These villages are said to have more than 10,000 locals, whose main livelihood come from forest department activities, eco-tourism, etc. You can visit these villages to know more about their life and culture. One of the most special attractions here is the live ethnic tribal dance show held every evening in Budhuram Forest Village .

One of the most interesting sites here are the ruins of the “Nalraja Garh”, or fort of the Nal kings.It was built 2000 years ago in the Gupta period in the fifth century C.E., the Golden Age of India. This is one of the largest secular monuments of Gupta Period still standing tall in West Bengal. The Nalraja Garh is spread over half a mile. The interiors are filled with dense jungle and cannot be walked into. There may be some snakes, so better not to venture in. Though a shabby and ill maintained place, the fort is of great archaeological value.

How to reach Chilapata Forest

The nearest airport in Bagdogra. The closest railway station is New Alipurduar Junction which is well connected to New Jalpaiguri. Cars from the station will take you to Chilapata. However, the most convenient nearest station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP) as most of the trains stop here.

Best time to visit Chilapata Forest

You can visit Chilapata anytime of the year but the forest stays closed from mid June to mid September every year.
