Jayanti is a small forested village near the town of Rajabhat Khawa in Alipurduar District of West Bengal. The Jayanti River forms a natural border with Bhutan. The wilderness of this village set at the foothills of the Himalayas with the Jayanti River and numerous other unknown streams and springs is mesmerizing. The thrill of the dense forest of Buxa Tiger Reserve is beyond comparison. Jayanti is a part of Buxa Tiger Reserve. Jayanti is often termed as ‘The Queen of Doars’. Rajabhat Khawa is the entry point to the Tiger Reserve and has a Nature Interpretation Centre.A long weekend here for rejuvenating the mind and escaping the urban mundane seems to be a perfect idea. Rajabhat Khawa is 730 kilometers from Kolkata and takes around 17 hours to reach by road. The drive after Shiliguri is picturesque and one gets the view of the iconic Coronation Bridge too.
