Rajabhatkhawa is often ignored while people make their way to the Tiger Reserve. But taking out a day or two, apart from this time may be worth it!

Best time to travel!!

Rajabhatkhawa is the best place to visit during winters between October and March. The temperature is lower which makes it easier for you to travel in the sun.

The story lies behind the name!!

In 1800, the king of Coochbehar vowed to never eat rice if he did not manage to remove the ruler of Bhutan from the area where the actual village is situated now. After some time, the monarch of Bhutan himself agreed to leave the village and as a victory, the kings celebrated by having a rice feast amidst the dense forest. This is how the village got its name!

Hold on!! Let’s explore the places now...

1.Nature Interpretation Centre: The Nature Interpretation Centre is at a short distance from the Buxa Tiger Reserve. The place houses numerous birds and animals in the reserve, along with various plants and their medicinal properties.
