Dooars Tour Plan in Dec 2019 


In October 2019, we, along with two other friends' couple were planning for a holiday, and we were bit confused, where to go – Sikkim or North Bengal. Then after a lot of deliberation, we decided to visit Dooars and take a Dooars Tour Package from Siliguri/NJP  in Dec 2019. One of our friends suggested NatureWings for the Dooars trip, as they are the super-specialist for the Dooars and provided the contact details of Mr. Sandip Raha, Director, NatureWings. We contacted him the next day, and he has nicely explained various options available and also got an idea from us about our preference and budget. Finally, he has suggested the following itinerary, and we were happy, and they provide the perfect travel plan for the trip and the service before, during, and after the tour.
