If you're searching for an offbeat destination in the Dooars region, Garuchira is the perfect escape. Tucked away at the foothills of Bhutan, near the Indo-Bhutan border, Garuchira is a lesser-known but incredibly scenic spot known for its pristine forests, rolling hills, and rich biodiversity.
It’s a hidden gem for travelers who crave peace, raw beauty, and a touch of wilderness.
Located not far from Jaldapara and close to our Holiday Homestay, Garuchira Watch Tower is the main attraction here. It offers a panoramic view of the Buxa hills, lush forest canopy, and sometimes even sightings of wild elephants, peacocks, and other animals from the adjacent jungle corridor. The area falls under an elephant corridor, making it one of the rare spots where you can witness wild elephants in their natural habitat especially during early mornings or evenings.
What makes Garuchira truly unique is its untouched environment. It’s managed with the help of the local forest protection committees, and visitors can enjoy eco-tourism at its best—free from crowds, pollution, or commercial hustle. It’s an ideal spot for nature walks, birdwatching, photography, or simply relaxing in the lap of nature.
Whether you're on a weekend getaway or exploring the broader Dooars circuit, a visit to Garuchira adds an unforgettable chapter to your journey. Combine it with your stay at our homestay to experience both comfort and adventure.
