Magical Days at Gorumara: Wildlife, Tea Gardens, Elephant Camp, and Forest Hospitality at Its Best.
Gorumara National Park的点评
点评：I just returned from a truly memorable two-day halt at Gorumara, and I had to share the experience with you in detail.
It was one of those rejuvenating trips where every moment felt like a perfect blend of nature, wildlife, hospitality, and serenity.
Gorumara National Park is simply enchanting. The richness of its flora is staggering — towering sal trees dominate the landscape, interspersed with teak, siris, simul, and various species of bamboo.
The undergrowth is thick in many areas, alive with wild shrubs and creepers. The monsoon rains have lent a fresh vibrancy to the greens. Fauna-wise, Gorumara lives up to its reputation.
We were lucky to spot Indian gaur herds, herds of elephants in front of guest house grazing peacefully in the grasslands, several sambar deer, and a pair of playful barking deer near the salt lick.
Hundreds of birds, green pigeons. Birdlife is abundant — hornbills, peacocks, woodpeckers, and countless others sang to us through the day.
The highlight, of course, was sighting a mother elephant and her calf from a watchtower — a calm yet humbling moment.
The Elephant Camp near the forest edge was another delight. We had a chance to observe the camp elephants during their bathing and feeding time.
The bond between the mahouts and their elephants was heartwarming, filled with mutual respect.
The camp also plays a key role in conflict mitigation and patrolling deep forest areas — hearing the mahouts narrate tales of elephant rescues and patrol adventures made the experience even richer.
On the way, we stopped briefly at the beautiful Baradighi Tea Gardens. The landscape was surreal — vast, lush tea bushes stretching into the horizon, shaded occasionally by tall silver oaks.
Worker women in vibrant clothes oranon, Munda, Kharia, Shanthals of Jharkhand moved in rhythmic patterns as they plucked leaves, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of fresh tea leaves and wet earth. We visited a nearby heritage bungalow that still exudes colonial charm, had a cup of tea with Manager Mr Mukherji and Deep Shikha which they offered complementary.
We were fortunate to be hosted at the Chapramari Forest Guest House by RFO and cook Gopal.
It’s located right on the fringe of the forest, and the view from the porch is mesmerizing — dense Sal forests stretch into the distance, and at dawn and dusk, the chances of spotting wildlife right from the lawn are quite high from watch tower.
One morning, we saw wild boars and even a lone tusker across the open patch near the salt lick.
The evenings were filled with cicadas and distant calls of the jungle.
The hospitality we received was impeccable. The cook at the guest house served us warm, simple, and delicious meals — from hot pooris with aloo sabzi to rice, dal, alo post, fish curry, and even charmari.
It felt like home food, served with a smile. The RFO was extremely warm and took the time to explain the forest dynamics to us.
Special thanks must go to DFO Sh Dwija Sen IFS , Director Gorumara National Park whose support made this halt possible.
Sen talked to me in the noon on the first day and promised all support making elephant safari complementary.
Sen’s professionalism and passion for conservation were truly commendable.
This afternoon, we now set out on an eagerly anticipated journey to Buxa Tiger Reserve, nestled in the eastern Himalayas of northern West Bengal.
We have had simple and tasty village-style meal with neat snd clean dishes like Lal Saag with Thankuni Pata, Shukto, Panta Bhaat, and Aloo Posto.
We tried Pyalka, Egg Telani, and Charchari—all full of local flavours and homely taste prepared with much and affection by Gopal cook and care taker.
These traditional dishes reminded us of fresh, healthy food of West Bengal style made with much special attention.
We preferred to eat these kinds of meals that were rooted in Bengal’s rich and humble village cooking.
I shall be able to experience natural setting spread across dense sal forests, riverine landscapes, bamboo groves, and hilly terrains, as the reserve lies at the tri-junction of India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, making it ecologically and geographically unique.
The wilderness here I know is rich and diverse. Though tigers remain elusive, the Buxa reserve is known for its population of sighting once in life time the elusive leopards, elephants, gaur (Indian bison), sambar, barking deer of Buxa Tiger Reserve, and an impressive variety of birds—over 300 species, including the rufous-necked hornbill and ibisbill.
Buxa also shelters several rare and endangered species like the clouded leopard and Himalayan black bear sighting these would be a life time experience.
The chirping of birds, rustle of leaves, and distant calls from the forest hint at the hidden life within.
Expectations are high for more frequent wildlife sightings in Buxa as we wd br entering Nimati the core areas and venture deeper into the reserve. With its blend of open glades, dense vegetation, and perennial streams, Buxa I know offers ideal conditions for wildlife movement.
Each bend of the trail might reveal something spectacular—a sudden glimpse of a herd, or a chance encounter with a predator.
As we move forward, we are reminded that in places like Buxa, the forest reveals itself slowly, but meaningfully—to those who watch, listen, and walk with reverence.
I am really over whelmed by your love and affection and shall cherish these memories all the time coming.

翻译：我刚刚在戈鲁马拉度过了难忘的两天，不得不和大家详细分享这次经历。
这是一次令人神清气爽的旅行，每一刻都感觉是自然、野生动物、热情好客和宁静的完美融合。
戈鲁马拉国家公园令人陶醉。其植物种类之丰富令人叹为观止——高耸的娑罗树占据了整个景观，柚木、鸢尾花、金合欢树和各种竹子点缀其间。
许多地方的灌木丛都十分茂密，野生灌木和攀缘植物生机勃勃。季风雨给这片绿地增添了新的活力。就动物群而言，戈鲁马拉名副其实。
我们很幸运地看到了印度野牛群、宾馆前草原上安静吃草的象群、几只水鹿，以及盐碱地附近一对嬉戏的赤麂。
数百只鸟儿，还有绿鸽。鸟类种类繁多——犀鸟、孔雀、啄木鸟，还有不计其数的其他鸟类，整天都在为我们歌唱。
当然，最精彩的是从瞭望塔上看到一头母象和她的幼象——那是一个平静而又令人谦卑的时刻。
森林边缘的大象营地是另一个亮点。我们有机会观察营地里的大象洗澡和喂食。
象夫和大象之间的感情令人感动，充满了相互尊重。
营地在缓解冲突和巡逻深林地区方面也发挥着关键作用——听象夫讲述大象救援和巡逻的冒险故事，让这段经历更加丰富。
途中，我们在美丽的巴拉迪吉茶园短暂停留。那里的景色美得令人难以置信——广阔茂盛的茶树一直延伸到地平线，偶尔被高大的银橡树遮蔽。
贾坎德邦的奥拉农、蒙达、卡里亚和尚塔尔族女工身着鲜艳的服饰，一边采摘茶叶，一边有节奏地移动着，空气中弥漫着新鲜茶叶和湿润泥土的淡淡香气。我们参观了附近一栋仍然散发着殖民时期魅力的古老平房，与经理穆克吉先生和迪普·希卡一起喝了一杯茶，他们还免费赠送了我们。
我们很荣幸地被RFO和厨师戈帕尔安排在查普拉马里森林宾馆。
宾馆位于森林的边缘，从门廊望去，景色令人着迷——茂密的娑罗树森林延伸到远方，在黎明和黄昏时分，从瞭望塔上直接在草坪上看到野生动物的机会相当高。
一天早上，我们在盐碱地附近的空地上看到了野猪，甚至还有一头孤独的獠牙。
夜晚，蝉鸣声阵阵，丛林中传来远处的鸣叫声。
我们受到了无可挑剔的款待。宾馆的厨师为我们准备了温暖、简单又美味的餐点——从配土豆沙拉的热普里（pooris）到米饭、扁豆、土豆泥、咖喱鱼，甚至还有查玛利（charmari）。
感觉就像家常菜一样，服务员总是面带微笑。森林观察员（RFO）非常热情，花时间向我们讲解森林的动态。
特别感谢戈鲁马拉国家公园（Gorumara National Park）主管、森林观察员（DFO）Sh Dwija Sen IFS，他的支持使这次停留成为可能。
第一天中午，Sen与我交谈，并承诺将全力支持大象狩猎之旅。
Sen的专业精神和对保护工作的热情令人钦佩。
今天下午，我们踏上了期待已久的布克萨老虎保护区之旅，该保护区位于西孟加拉邦北部喜马拉雅山脉的东部。
我们享用了简单美味的乡村风味餐，菜肴干净整洁，例如Lal Saag配Thankuni Pata、Shukto、Panta Bhaat和Aloo Posto。
我们还品尝了Pyalka、Egg Telani和Charchari——它们都充满了当地风味和家常的味道，由Gopal的厨师和管理员倾注了大量心血精心烹制而成。
这些传统菜肴让我们想起了西孟加拉邦精心烹制的新鲜健康美食。
我们更喜欢这种源于孟加拉邦丰富而朴实的乡村烹饪的菜肴。
由于保护区位于印度、不丹和孟加拉国三国交界处，生态和地理环境独具特色，我将能够体验到茂密的娑罗树森林、河流景观、竹林和丘陵地带的自然环境。
我所知道的这里的荒野丰富多样。虽然老虎依然难以捉摸，但布克萨保护区却以其一生难得一见的珍稀动物而闻名。这些动物包括行踪不定的豹子、大象、印度野牛、水鹿、布克萨老虎保护区的赤麂，以及种类繁多的鸟类——超过300种，包括棕颈犀鸟和鹮。
布克萨还栖息着一些珍稀濒危物种，例如云豹和喜马拉雅黑熊，如果能看到它们，将是毕生难忘的经历。
鸟儿的啁啾声、树叶的沙沙声以及远处传来的森林鸣叫，都暗示着隐藏在森林深处的生命。
随着我们即将进入尼玛提核心区域，并深入保护区，我们期待在布克萨更频繁地看到野生动物。这里拥有开阔的林间空地，我知道，布克萨拥有茂密的植被和常年流淌的溪流，为野生动物的迁徙提供了理想的条件。
小径的每一个弯道都可能展现出一些壮观的景象——突然瞥见一群鹿，或是与捕食者偶遇。
随着我们继续前行，我们意识到，在布克萨这样的地方，森林缓慢而深刻地展现着它自身的魅力——对于那些怀着敬畏之心观察、聆听和行走的人来说。
我被你们的爱和关怀深深感动，并将永远珍惜这些回忆。
