About Buxa & Jayanti

Although the name lures many tourists, tiger sighting in Buxa is actually quite rare these days. Not that tigers do not exist there... it's the large expanse of the jungle and highly dense sal forest that provide a perfect hideout for tigers where they can prey & live escaping the human eyes.

Buxa Tiger Reserve is located at the north eastern corner of West Bengal at the foothill of lower Himalayas where the terrain varies from the landscape of lower plains to rugged hills full of dense forests of sal and simul trees interspersed with bamboo groves and shrubs of many kinds
