Essence of Dooars at Buxa

Welcome to

Essence of Dooars at Buxa

Welcome to Essence of Dooars, a simple yet beautiful homestay tucked away in the forested hills of Buxa Tiger Reserve. Surrounded by a wide green lawn and cozy ethnic wooden cottages and rooms built in the traditional local style, this peaceful retreat blends seamlessly into the lush wilderness.

Wake up to the soft golden sunlight filtering through the trees, and the soothing sounds of chirping birds echoing through the dense canopy. This peaceful place offers a stunning bird’s eye view of the vast tiger reserve, with silver-line rivers glimmering through the thick green foliage like nature’s own artwork. Often, the deep silence of the forest is gently broken by rustling leaves or distant calls of wild animals—reminding you that you're in the heart of untamed nature. Located in the quiet village of Santalabari, this homestay feels like a hidden forest hamlet, far from the chaos of city life. Evenings bring the magic of mist and campfires, where stories are shared under the stars. The delicious organic food made with love, and the heartfelt hospitality of the hosts, will make your stay not just memorable but truly soulful.

Take a break. Feel the calm of the wild. Let nature heal you, and rediscover the joy of simply being.
