Bindu Dooars

Bindu is only 107 km from Siliguri. The last hamlet of West Bengal, Bindu is a valley encircled by hills of Bhutan and India on the banks of river Jaldhaka. It is a feast for the eyes and a stimulating experience for the mind.

The road that leads to Bindu is in itself an unforgettable experience. The Dooars area starts immediately after you cross the Tista River at Coronation Bridge. The whole region is extremely beautiful with green vegetation all around. Most of the time you will be travelling through the plain with the hills on your left just a few hundred meters away. There is also the possibility of sighting wildlife on the way.

Bindu is a conglomeration of different aborigines. The peace-loving people of Bindu are engaged either in Elaichi (Cardamom) or Suntala (Orange) cultivation. Terrace cultivation is quite common here.

Just a few kilometres away from Bindu and paren on an accentuated height is Godak village. On either side of the road, you will find Cardamom and Orange plantations. From here, you can have a view of the few villages of Bhutan, Paren, and Bindu. On the way to Godak Government has set up a Cardamom Curing Centre for the farmers.
