Dummy's Guide to Dooars!!

Day Sub_Zero
The PlanWe did the acco plan first as when i checked with tour operators, travel was the easier part but acco was difficult. I would advise to go along with West Bengal tourism offers in terms of acco as that provides you with the ringside view compared to the pvt operators where you might get the satisfaction of shelling out a bit more and settling for a bit less.
I did my booking through . It is really cool as you can book any of the WB tourism lodges / packages online.
I booked two days at Madarihaat (jaldapara forest) and two more at malbazar. I would on hind sight advise guys to book the hollong lodge which is inside the forest area. The madarihaat lodge came inclusive of food. At Rs. 1400 per night for two it wasn;t bad.
The Malbazar lodge was though a bloomer. It was not at all well maintained. The saving grace was this waiter out there who used to make some great coffee.
The travel plan was easier as had quite a number of choices. There are a couple of trains which goo all up to alipurduar and I advise people taking that one as it will reach you straight upto the dooars.
