Jeep / Elephant Safari Booking – Gorumara National Park

Gorumara national park online safari booking.

Gorumara National Park boasts a rich history dating back to the early 1890s when it served as a reserve forest primarily for timber extraction purposes. However, as deforestation threatened the local ecosystem, the area was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1949, aimed at safeguarding the diverse wildlife species residing within its borders. Initially established to protect the endangered Indian rhinoceros from rampant hunting, the sanctuary underwent expansion in the 1980s to encompass a broader array of wildlife species. Subsequently, in 1992, it attained the status of a national park. Derived from the local term “Goroom,” meaning “the land of high hills,” Gorumara National Park sits at the foothills of the Himalayas, providing a habitat for numerous indigenous tribes such as the Munda, Oraon, and Toto communities. Over the years, the park has played a pivotal role in conservation efforts, successfully reintroducing the Indian rhinoceros population to the area. It also shelters other endangered species including the Asian elephant and Indian bison. In recent times, the park has emerged as a prominent destination for ecotourism, with concerted efforts directed towards promoting sustainable tourism practices. Notably, Gorumara National Park contributes significantly to the conservation of the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot. Moreover, the park’s evolution has generated employment opportunities within surrounding rural settlements, particularly through eco-tourism initiatives, forest department engagement, and related endeavors.

Tree-house or Gachbari – Dhupjhora Elephant Camp

treehouse-dhupjhora

Tree-house or Gachbari is an eco-friendly cottage located at a height supported by two sal trees. It one of the best accommodation to stay at Dooars. Along with the tree-house, there are 6 other cottages at Dhupjhora Elephant Camp.

The rooms are cosy from inside with a wooden floor and a private verandah. Rooms are non-ac (weather is comfortable throughout the year) and have a glass panel which gives a wonderful view of the surroundings. Wash-room is attached along with the cottage. Their is a common dining and a cultural zone. Room service is not available.

There is a lush green lawn in front of the cottage. An ideal place for the kids to play around. There is a beautiful tea garden on the backside of the cottage. Adjacent to the tea-garden lies the Gorumara Forest. A narrow path divides the boundary of the forest and the tea-garden.

In the evening the guests are taken to Murti River to watch captive elephants bathed by the “mahout”. It about 15 minutes walk from Gachbari to the bathing point at Murti River. There is a watchtower at the bathing point.

In the evening there is Tribal Dance show, guests can match their steps with the local folks.

All the meals are served. The cuisine is primarily Bengali style served with local Boroli Fish and Country Chicken made in homely style.

We visited Gachbari in the winters of 2019. With sundown, it gets pitch dark at Dhupjhora. As the chill of the night descended, we lit up a fire. The crackling sound of firewood mingled with the sounds of the forest at night. Crickets, nightjars, fireflies and owls had woken up the dark. It was a different world.

In the morning we went for elephant safari. There is no “Houdwa” to sit on the back of the elephant and relax. It basically gunny bags filled with some cushion. I stretched both of my legs on the sides like a mahout. We saw a rhino with a calf and a herd of Indian Gaur. It could not manage to get any shots, as you have to continuously balance yourself on the elephant back.

After we returned and we had a sumptuous breakfast and checked-out.

We visited this place in May 2014. This is a late review actually. We booked the place through our travel agent. Beautiful wooden cottages admist Gorumara forest. They have an elephant rehabilitation camp and you get to ride on them too. The place has a tree house which is very famous. We could not book the tree house but the other cottages were excellent. We travelled there from Lataguri. The Murti river flows by the side of the facility. It is situated on the edge of the Gorumara forest and you can enter the forest from within the facility. We heard that many a times animals walk in to the facility even. Early in the morning you can take the elephant ride and cross the murti river and go to the nearby forest areas. You would get to see rhinos and bison if you are lucky. Leopards are also found as told, though we saw only rhinos and wild bison. You can engage in bathing the elephants in the evening. Lovely activity which you would remember for a long long time. The facility is surrounded by tea gardens on the entry side. They would arrange for a tribal dance in the night for the guests staying. wonderful to watch which you can dance along too. The night will bring thrills as you hear many sounds of animals here and there. Our bathroom was visited by a rare species of iguana which was very poisonous as was told. Wonderful tasty food cooked and served hot by tribal villagers. Overall a must have experience once in Dooars area.

We reached New Mal Jn at 10.15 am (approx 1 hr late) by Kanchan Kanya Express. Mr Bhupesh Roy was there with his Nano, taking us to Dhupjhora (Gorumara National Park)..half an hour drive. The Tree Hut (Teesta) was ready for us. We loved the place at first sight.The wooden structure decorated with thached bamboo at about two and half storied height supported by two b-i-g saal trees.Inside the hut is also luxurious and romantic too.There are six other cottages also. Bhupesh is very energetic,charming and helpful guy who supervises Dhupjhora Elephant Camp. After being freshened we had our lunch (non-veg) and then went for elephant bath in nearby sweet Murti river. This was a remarkable experience. After coming back Bhupesh asked for Elephant safari. A big elephant Surya on his back took us toward jungle. This was our first experience over elephant back. Unlike Jaldapara only a jute cover over elephant back as sit, and a rope to hold for support. We spotted two Rhinos,few Bisons, Peacock---but the feelings we gathered at that evening is really thrilling. Then we had our tiffin with Tea and hot Pakoras. Another memorable experience was waiting for us--Tribal dance at around 7.00(over stage in the camp compound), my wife took participate with them. The day ended with a delicious non-veg dinner. The camp compound was under dense fog at that time. Next morning started with hot tea. I walked toward the forest with Bhupesh --spotted few unknown Birds, sun rays were coming through tree leaves. Bhupesh showed some fresh footmarks of Bison, wild elephants. After a good breakfast they gifted us some local made handicrafts (jute). Now it was the time for leave--bye Tree-Hut.

The place was located in the midst of the jungle at the edge of the murti river. The scenic beauty surrounding the place is simply awesome. There is a elephant training camp adjacent to the resort and is one of the first eco tourism resort in Bengal. After lunch you could go to the river bed accompanied by Bhupesh(the manager) and wash the elephants in the river(nothing to be afraid off as you will be accompanied by the Mahouts). In the evening you will be treated to a tribal folk dance which will enchant you. We saw a wild elephant that came dangerously close to the camp at night. The elephant ride will take place either in the early hours of the morning or in the evening. We took the elephant ride in the morning(The Mahouts will take you to the deeper parts of the jungle if you pay them extra). We saw a mother rhino with her new born,wild boars,bisons,peacocks and barking deers. The place is excellent and will look forward to visit the place again.

A tall, four-walled canvas tent is pitched in a park-like setting. It is night, and the tent is lit from within. Beyond the tent, but at quite a distance, are other tents. Above, the night sky is filled with stars.

Glamping With the Stars

Would cloudy weather ruin a visit to the first-ever resort to receive certification from DarkSky International? A stargazer in Utah holds on to her optimism.

  • May 1, 2024

As I exited Harry Reid International Airport on a bright March afternoon, my hand flew up to protect my eyes, which had grown accustomed to the dull light of a long, gray Tennessee winter. I’d headed west for the sun, but even more so for the night sky, so I was hoping for clear weather ahead. I climbed aboard a shuttle bus that would take me two hours east to Utah, where I planned to spend a starry night at Under Canvas Lake Powell-Grand Staircase .

The glamping resort, one of 12 Under Canvas sites, is anchored on a canyon rim plateau in southern Utah and is the first resort in the world to be certified by the nonprofit authority on light pollution, DarkSky International . My aim was to beat the heat and the crowds — but what I really wanted was to be an early adopter of certified starry resorts.

The DarkSky Approved Lodging program is another step forward in the nonprofit’s history of advocacy for the reduction of light pollution. Broadly, the requirements for certification include being situated in an “exceptionally” dark location; having approved means of reducing the impact of light at night; and providing educational materials about night sky conservation to guests.

Under Canvas, said James Brigagliano, the program’s manager for DarkSky, was a good fit for the project because the company’s sites are in dark locations, and they already follow eco-friendly practices. Since the Lake Powell site was certified in August, other Under Canvas locations in the National Park Service’s Grand Circle Western parks area have also been approved.

On a rugged desert landscape with tufts of low, scrubby vegetation, a large canvas tent overlooks a dramatic landscape of canyons and buttes. The early morning sky is a pale orange.

Hoping for good weather

In St. George, Utah, I rented a car and headed southeast, the Pine Valley Mountains hovering to the north. The second half of the two-hour drive was on Route 89, which runs from Mexico to Canada. My roughly 60-mile section was marked by sienna-hued mesas and buttes, and cornflower-blue skies.

By 3:30 p.m., I was bouncing along a red dirt road until Under Canvas’s cream-colored tents came into view. There are 50 in all, scattered across 220 acres, all of them with views of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument , a massive geological formation that occupies about 1.87 million acres of public lands, from desert to coniferous forest.

As I got out of my car, I looked up at the sky warily. Clouds were gathering.

In the dirt lot, there were vehicles from Western states and a few from the Northeast. Like me, these travelers had come early — one day after the resort opened for the season — to take advantage of the cool weather and outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, rappelling in nearby Elephant Canyon and private tours of the Grand Staircase. There is also boating and fishing on Lake Powell, though the water level there has been much impacted by drought .

Many, like myself, came mainly for the night sky in Utah, which has large swaths of land with minimal artificial light and a dry climate that translates into less water vapor, which can blur the stars.

But would the weather cooperate?

Reaching for the stars

Under Canvas is certainly not the first hospitality company to tout its access to the night sky. Over the last 20 years or so, hotels in bucolic settings, along with permanent glamping sites, have been working stargazing into their guest offerings. There’s the observatory at Primland Resort in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, and the astronomy dinner at Soneva Jani in the Maldives. Elqui Domos in northern Chile has geodesic domes and cabins that open to the sky.

With stargazing in mind, Under Canvas began working with DarkSky in 2021 to arrive at a lighting design plan.

“Getting the certification from DarkSky was altruistic in terms of intention,” said May Lilley, the chief marketing officer at Under Canvas. “It’s a part of our mission to make sure our guests leave with a little bit of a different philosophy, whether that means they just turn the lights off when they leave a room.”

DarkSky’s hope, said Mr. Brigagliano, is that the new certification program will become the de facto standard for all lodging in locations dark enough to pass the organization’s protocol.

Attention to the night sky could not happen sooner. A study published in Science magazine in 2023 revealed that the sky glow from cities and towns increased 10 percent each year from 2011 to 2022, underscoring the startling results from a 2016 study that showed that 99 percent of those living in highly populated areas around the world can no longer see most stars, if any.

The category for lodging complements DarkSky’s existing certification program for International Dark Sky Places , of which there are more than 200, including Zion and Yellowstone national parks; the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary in Australia ; the Namibrand Nature Reserve in southern Namibia; and even urban places, like Parc du Mont-Bellevue in the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Response to news of the program was fairly immediate, said Mr. Brigagliano. “So far, nearly 100 resorts, retreat centers, ranches and other lodging properties from the United States, Canada, Britain, Thailand, Australia, India, Germany, Saudi Arabia and the Cook Islands have contacted us regarding the program. We are getting interest from a variety of businesses, from nonprofits to luxury, high-end properties.”

Where are the stars?

Inside the common area — a large tent that acts as a front desk, restaurant, snack bar and hang out — a couple from San Francisco with a dachshund had just finished registering. The woman who registered me took me by A.T.V. to my safari-style tent.

All the tents are within a soft yell of each other and all have decks, en-suite bathrooms with showers, and four vertical walls that provide more room than traditional pyramid-shaped tents. Inside mine was a king-size bed, two leather chairs and a wood-burning stove. My choice, the Stargazer (I paid $432, including taxes and fees), also has a sky-viewing window that arcs above the bed.

I stepped out on the deck. The valley was dark below dense clouds. Back inside, I could hear the patter of rain on canvas. I ditched my plan to walk to the on-site slot canyon — slot canyons can flood — and slid under the viewing window, which was dotted with raindrops. The prospects of a starry night seemed remote.

I zipped up my parka, wishing I had brought better shoes for hiking in the rain, and walked down to the main common area. The roasted trout ($25) looked tempting, but the cafeteria was uncomfortably cold. I pulled out a protein bar from my backpack and took a seat under one of the sheltered gathering areas, noticing how the rain transforms Utah’s striated Navajo sandstone into deeper hues of coral and ecru. The wide valley between myself and Grand Staircase might have been two miles or 20, the scale was so unfathomable. A couple from Idaho in oilskin jackets and hiking boots, who looked as though they could ice-pick up Mount Everest, joined me. Unlike me, they were better prepared for inclement weather, which hadn’t stopped them from hiking nearby canyons.

By 8 p.m. the rain had become a misty drizzle. Hoping for the best, I set my alarm for 3:30 a.m., around the time the outer regions of the Milky Way appear in the Northern Hemisphere (given the right conditions).

When the alarm went off, I opened my eyes to stars shining through the still-damp window. I got dressed, grabbed a battery-powered lantern and stepped out into the night. Above me, in all directions, the sky was at last unblocked; I could not have been more surprised.

I made my way down the dirt path, which was lit by small solar ground lights, to get closer to the canyon rim. Smoke from the stoves in several tents drifted up and disappeared. A jack rabbit crossed my path. I sat down on a patch of dry scrub. This was the Colorado Plateau, one of the darkest sections of the United States, and even with a remaining cloud or two, thousands of stars shone through the darkness. Was that the veil of an aloof Milky Way above me? With a clear view to the west, I was almost certain I could see Venus. Using my stargazer app, SkyView, I managed to find the constellations Orion and Leo.

I lay back and stayed there until the stars faded in the predawn sky and the morning light began its spectacular migration across the wide valley.
