  • [Photo Feature]: Summer Trip 2017 GORUMARA- METELLI-JAIGAON-PHEUNTSHOLLING

    HELLO GUYS! I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR 5 YEARS!FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I AM EXCITED ABOUT BIKING TOURING IN BIKES.
    TILL FEB 2017 I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BIKEs OF MY OWN.I USED MY DAD'S UNICORN (2008).THEN I GOT THE BAJAJ PULSAR 220 BS 4 VARIANT AND MY DREAMS STARTED TO TAKING OFF.


    So, this perticular tour consisted 2 days and 1 night.(28TH MAY 17 - 29TH MAY 17) We started our journey from our hometown COOCH BEHAR,we covered GORUMARA NATIONAL PARK, CHALSHA, METELLI, JAIGAON and a little part of BHUTAN.Those who don't know where the COOCH BEHAR is let me tell you this is not in BIHAR certainly.It's a district of WEST BENGAL and SITUATED in West Bengal and Assam border.

    A ROUTE MAP FROM COOCH BEHAR TO GORUMARA FOREST ATTACHED BELOW FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING..

    As you can see in the map that it is 121kms and takes around 2.30 hours to reach to Gorumara.It was a sunday and all of were so pumped up that we scheduled our journey early morning and started around 6.30am.


    Here is some photos of the very beginning of the journey!

        Nice start Sudip! Waiting for the rest.
        Just one concern - shoes!
        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          T H A N K Y O U
          for approving and all the warm wishes!


          So, our journey continued, We completed our first 45 kms. in 40 Mins.Our speed was around 70-75 Kmph and we hold that because of the millage!
          The other two have topped up their bike full.Whereas I topped up with 8Ltr of petrol.Mt objective was to measure the millage of my 220.
          anyways, we stopped at FALAKATA and had our breakfast.Then we started again.After going around 20 kms. we again stopped for some photo clicks near BIRPARA .
          The Road and the secnic beauty around was temeting.Here is some more photos of the location.
          Check that out!

          Tempting isn't it? Ok!

          From there we did not stop untill we reached GORUMARA FOREST.
          We went through the blue marked road.i.e from BIRPARA we took a left and got that NH 317 and after that we took a right from GAYERKATA where we got NH 31.
          During the journey from BIRPARA to GORUMARA FOREST we didn't halt anywhere so I don't have any photos but I have video recording captured by my friend who is on pillion.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83W3p7GuR5M


          Here is the youtube link of that very video.As we're amature and we don't have any experience of shooting before that video may seem irritating to some people and I am genuinely sorry for that.The Video has been shot between Lakkhipara tea garden and Chapramari Forest.

          There are two roads to get GORUMARA FOREST.AFTER CROSSING THE JALDHAKA BRIDGE, ONE can TO STICK ON NH 31, around 10 kms. after you'll get CHALSHA from there you can take the left to get GORUMARA and another one is UTTAR DHOOPJHORA ROAD which'll be on the left side just after crossing the Jaldhaka bridge and we took the 2nd road.The road is smooth empty and covered with dense forest.


          another screenshot been attached for better understanding..

                    Yes, I joined here in 2014 but I have been following this community since I was in 2nd year of my college i.e 2012.
                    The main problem was that i didn't have a pc at that time and you know for a tier 3 city is was very unlikely at that time to have a high speed internet connection.Usually I went to cyber cafes back then for college project and had very little time for all this.
                    Once I got passed out from college in 2014 my dad brought me a laptop and I bought a beetel dongle from my small savings.That's the story behind the 5 year journey of mine..

                      TUSKER'S DEN RESORT.

                      The Veg Meal









                      ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                      one thing I must mention here that the forest dept. doesn't give any permission to private vehicles to enter into the core area of forest.
                      So, like other tourists we too went to the forest dept.'s booking counter there.
                      By the time we reached,daily quota of 4th shift for JATRAPROSAD and MEDLA were full so we decided to go for Chapramari.We filled a form and submitted it with a photocopy of our aadhar cards!
                      Then we saw some separate notice boards out there and it was confusing!

                      we got the GOVT.'s receipt of 770 and then he guy at the counter said that we need to come sharp 3.45pm for the sfaari and need to bring 1500. I asked why do I need to pay? I already paid for the vehicle entry and the for the people then he said that I had to hire a vehicle that costs 1320 for Chapramari and 180 for guide charge.I can't take any outsider vehicle and and outsider as a guard.I asked for the bill and he said that that'll be issued on arriving.Upon go there @ 4pm
                      this is what I got.

                      I don't understand that's the matter out there.They can have elaborate the full package that for this tour you need to pay that amount, is there any necessary of showing part by part?
                      and the other two bills that I got, I don't think that the money is going to govt's treassuary..
                      yous comment is needed to this point..
