Anirban, loved the pics so far. Since we are experiencing Dooars here, let me tell you that there is a very nice place to stay, just after the Coronation Bridge (Baagh Pool), as you enter NH31. The place is called Mongpong and has only 4 cottages by WBFDC. It is around 5kms from the viewpoint from where you have taken the bridge pic. It has an excellent Sal forest in front of it (you cannot see the cottages from the road) and the cottages overlook the Teesta valley.
The place is mindblowing in its tranquility and makes up for a very nice stay for one night. Next time if you drive to Dooars, do not stay at Siliguri overnight, but drive for another 35 odd kms and spend the night and next day at Mongpong. After lunch, you can drive out to Chalsa/Lataguri/Murti. You would simply love it.
I am really getting tempted to post my Dooars experiences here. First the travelogue from Lumina and then this one, I guess I wont be able to hold myself back from sharing my experiences in a writeup. Lets see if I can find out some time for it.
Till then, awaiting your Dooars experience.
