Scope for elephant safari in Jaldpara Wildlife Sanctuary is really very limited but if you love wild life and passionate about jungles, elephant safari is a must do thing when you are in Jaldpara forest, for your Dooars Trip. Jaldapara is popular for spotting wild animals while doing elephant safari. It is also suggested to all first timers for a very different way of exploring the woods and the habitats of wild friends. The scope of spotting wild animals is much better in elephant safari compared to jeep safari and it is really a thrilling & adventurous way to feel the fun of jungles. An elephant takes you deep inside the forest where a jeep or vehicle won’t be able to take you. The elephant passes through the dense woods, crosses the water streams, and takes you close to a one horned Rhino or a Bison. It is an awesome feeling and sight when you see a leopard at a few meters distance or a Chital feeding her baby.
Elephant safari in Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary is done from two locations. The safari from the Hollong Bungalow or tourist lodge maintained by West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation (WBTDC) is the better option and preferred over the safari from Barodabari Malangi Lodge maintained by West Bengal Forest Development Corporation (WBFDC). Only these two govt. bodies have the privileged of operating elephant safaris in Jaldpara. Private hotels do not have this facility, rather it can be said that private hotels are not authorized to operate safaris in reserve forests like Jaldapara. Tourists staying in Govt. lodges get the priority or advantage for elephant safari as per first come – first serve basis. Tourists staying in private hotels will have to wait and see if there is any ticket available after the tourists staying in Govt. lodges have got the passes. Very frankly speaking it is very hard to get an elephant safari ticket staying in any private hotels or resorts, especially for the safari that leaves from Hollong Tourist Lodge.
Elephant Safari from Hollong Tourist Lodge – Jaldapara Forest
The most popular elephant safari in Jaldpara forest is the safari from Hollong Tourist Lodge, maintained by WBTDC. The Hollong bungalow is located deep inside the forest and the safari takes you more deep in the jungle which facilitates spotting or sighting wild animals. Only a few elephants, say 6 or 7 goes for safari everyday early in the morning. These 6 to 7 elephants make 2 round trips depending on weather and demand. If it is high season and the demand is high, they try to manage one more round trip but it is really not possible to satisfy all. The first priority for the safari is provided to the tourists staying in Hollong Tourists Lodge. The second priority is provided to the tourists staying in Jaldapara Tourist Lodge maintained by WBTDC and the third priority is given to the tourists of Malangi Lodge (WBFDC) and other private hotels or resorts.
You are supposed to fill up a form the previous evening to confirm your tickets. One has to provide Rs 600 per head for the safari. The rate is provided as of Jan, 2014, it may change with time. If you are interested in elephant safari, make sure you contact the manager of Hollong Tourist Lodge the previous afternoon or evening to confirm your tickets. If you are staying in Hollong Bungalow just let the manager know that you are interested in next morning’s safari and pay the money as required.
Elephant Safari from Malangi Lodge – Jaldapara Forest
The safari from Malangi Lodge has recently started to facilitate the tourists who do not get tickets from Hollong. It also helped the forest department and tourists department to drive some pressure from Hollong. This safari is also gaining popularity gradually. This safari also takes you deep in the forest as I have heard because I never went on this safari. I have heard that people in this safari get the sights of wild animals though I will always suggest you the safari from Hollong because staying in Hollong is the best part of Jaldpara Trip and that experience can’t be felt or enjoyed anywhere else. The cost of elephant safari from Malangi Lodge is Rs 600 per head as of Jan, 2014.
Just to let you know that you will have to have the best possible luck to get a room in Hollong. The rush is too much and you will have to book the rooms 120 days in advance. Make sure you book the rooms the day it opens for booking. A confirmation of room in Hollong will bring you the confirmation of ticket for elephant safari from Hollong – the best safari in Dooars.
Can I book Elephant Safari in Jaldapara online for persons . I have already book 4 room in Jaldapara Touriest Loudge by WBTDC
Elephant safari can not be booked online. It can only be booked after reaching there. Make sure you ask for the elephant safari once you reach there because it is done on “first come first serve” basis. If you intend to do jeep safari, better you go for the safari that is done from Kodalbasti point.
No, you can’t. you have to be physically there for this.
I am planning to visit gorumara and jaldapara… To avail safaris in these two places is it a must to stay in government lodges/bunglows?
For elephant safari, you must stay at Govt. lodges and you can do jeep safaris even if you stay at private lodges.
We four friends are planning to stay at Mendabari Jungle Lodge from 24th to 26 th December, 2016. Is there be any chance for us to enjoy Elephant Safari, Hollong Bungalow. Since Mendabari Jungle Lodge run by WBSFDA, should we expect any extra booking facilities regarding Elephant Safari at Hollong?
You can enjoy the elephant safari but not from Holong lodge (WBTDC property). There are 4-5 elephants at Holong and tourists staying at Holong gets the preference and priority for elephant safari. You can enjoy elephant safari from Barodabari Malangi lodge which is a property of WBFDC. Your elephant safari tickets must be booked by previous day evening.
I have heard even if you prebook the Holong lodge, it can be cancelled anytime by Govt. if any Govt officials visits Holong at the same day.
They say even it can happen at day of staying and you will be asked to leave with full refund.
Is it true?
Yes it can happen but chances are negligible. Don’t panic, it is juts a Govt. norm which rarely happen. It happens only if VVIPs visit like ministers and top level secretaries. I have stayed at Hollong 6 times and it never happened to me.
I stay hollong buglow at 2 rooms with myy family member 5 person but they are allow
Your query is not clear to me.
Hey Abhi,

Hi Anindya,
The day you reach Murti, you may go for afternoon jeep safari in Gorumara national park or Chapramari forest. yes, that would be exciting for sure. The safari ends with a performance by the local tribals.
Next day, you may visit Samsing, Suntalekhola, Rocky island, etc. in the morning and Bindu, Jhalong, Chapramari in afternoon.
When you move to Jaldapara, you may visit Khoyerbari range on way.
Elephant Safari charges should be Rs 660-680 per head. 4 persons are allowed to climb on the back of each elephants.
For more details, you may ping me on my mobile.
Thanks!

Why do you want to travel that much to get a jeep safari. You can enjoy the same in Gorumara. There are so many towers and you can get any one of them. You can also enjoy jeep safari in Chapramari range. It is always better if you keep a reserved car for transportation. You can move around freely and whenever you need.

You can spend 2 nights at Murti, 2 nights at Jaldapara and 2 nights at Buxa or Jayanti. In total it will be 6 nights – 7 days trip as given by you. Your arrival station should be New Mal Junction and departure station should be Alipurduar Junc. It is better if you reserve a vehicle for the entire trip.

Hi Abhijit,I went to book rooms for Jaldapara Tourist Lodge at their only private agent at Holidayhomeindia at Pollock Street Kolkata.
I asked for elephant safari whether preference is given to the tourist who are staying in Jaldapara Tourist Lodge. They replied only guest staying at Holong can get preference only. But if i stay at jaldapara tourist lodge there is no preference, tourist have to stand in the que like other guest who are staying in private hotel.
Please confirm which is correct. Your reply will help me a lot
Thanks
Ajit Karar
First of all there are more than 1 authorized travel agents who can book Govt. lodges across Dooars. There is no need to book through any gent, you can book JaldaparaTourist Lodge on your own. You can book it on WBTDC website. If you are staying at Jaldapara, the best option of stay other than Holong Lodge is Barodabari Malangi Lodge of WBFDC. They have their own elephants. and I must is that if you stay at Jaldapara Tourist Lodge, you will get second preference for elephant safari from Holong Lodge. Tourist staying at Jaldapara Tourist lodge need to come to Holong for elephant safari.
You can mail me at “uvreachedavi@gmail.com” for further details.
Please give me the driver’s number as we require a 6-7 seater car with carrier in December for 6 days at Dooars.
I am planning travel Murti from 25th (arrival) to 28th (departure).Though I initially booked in WBTDC in murti but due to unavailability of Elephnt rides options from gorumara I am planning to move to jaldapara on 26th.Where obviously hollong lodge and barodabari lodge is filled up.can you suggest any other alternative for lodging and possible options & details for the elephant ride.I would also require a good driver details for the local trips can you help.Also please share your no for the discussion.
Apologize that I couldn’t manage to reply earlier. I was busy with some stuff. I hope you understand that it is so difficult for me to check and respond to each query. I think it is better if we speak. Please call me on my mobile after 9 pm any day. I can surely help you with all details.

Hello Arup! You can approach Jaldapara Tourist Lodge manager for your elephant safari in Jaldapara. It is on first come first serve basis. You can also book your jeep safari from there. I would suggest you to go for the first safari of the day.

Thanks.
April is a good time to visit Dooars. If you are visiting Jaldapara, you should cover Gorumara range too. 2 nights are enough for Jaldapara. In case you don’t stay at Govt. lodges, you will not get tickets for elephant safari in Jaldapara. Jeep safari is available both at Jaldapara and Gorumara. Jeep safari is best in Gorumara. I can plan a trip for you and suggest places only when I know the number of nights you have in hand.
Is jayanti or murti river rejoice us the same way. We are going to jaldapara but not planning to Lataguri
All places across Dooars have its own unique charm. If you have time, you should include Lataguri too. 2 nights are enough for Jaldapara.
What is the time for start elephant safari and jeep safari in jaldapara hollong bungalow ?
Elephant safari at Holong starts from 6 am but depends on weather. If it is too foggy, they start late. Jeep safari starts from Jaldapara Tourist lodge, they give a halt at Holong tourist lodge. If you are staying at Holong, jeep safari is not worth doing. You can do the jeep safari at Chilapata which is a great experience too.
What is the rate per head now for elephant safari and jeep safari
Please check your inbox for details.
hey abhijit, need to know price person for elephant safari, will be reaching on 24th sep with 10 people.

Yes, you can. You can stay 3 nights near Gorumara and 1 night at Jaldapara. I have mailed you in detail. Check your inbox please.
What is the cost of elephant riding and jeep safari?
For elephant safari it would be Rs 660-700 per head and for jeep safari it cost Rs 1,500-2000 depending on the tower you would visit. They allow 6 persons in the Gypsy.
Hi Abhijit….. We are planning for Gorumara for 2nght…..Can we cover Jaldapara? What is the rate for elephant and Jeep safari…. And what is the rate for government lodges and another hotels??
I need to know exact number of nights you have in hand to suggest a plan to you. I would need your arrival and departure stations, time and dates. Jeep safari cost depends on the range or watch tower but varies from Rs 1,500-2,000 per jeep. 6 persons are allowed in the open hood Gypsys. Elephant safari would cost you Rs 660-700 per head. Lodge rates varies with facilities and services. On average, lodging would cost Rs 1,500-2,000 per night. There are more luxurious lodges. You can mail me for further details.

How much cost of elephant safari at malangi lodge for 5 person?
Cost of elephant safari would be Rs 600-650 per head. 4 persons are allowed at a time on an elephant’s back.
I booked rooms for 4 persons at Jaldapara tourist lodge on 24th & 25 the February,2018. Could I get a chance of elephant safari? Where does it start from in the morning.
First priority is given to tourists staying at Hollong tourist lodge. You would get second priority and it all depends on the demand of elephant safari and your luck. You could have booked at Barodabari Malangi Lodge. They have their own safari facilities. Elephant safari generally starts from 6-6.30 am but depends on weather, fog, etc.
I am planing a trip of dooars for three days (9th, 10th, 11th January 2018) can it possible to visit – Garumara zip safari, Jhalong, Bindu, roki island, Jaldapar Etc. within tree days. How do I plan that which day for which spots. It’s very help full if you help me to plan for this three days.
Yes, very much possible. I would like to know if it is 2 nights-3 days plan or 3 nights-4 days plan. Without your arrival and departure time/date, I won’t be able to plan for you.
Hi Abhijit ,
We planned for dooars on 24th to 27th of December, this includes two days in lataguri and two days in jaladapara,
Can you please suggest us apart from Gorumara and jaladapara what else jungle safaris we can avail in lataguri and jaladapara. Please let me know for car/cab facilities in Gorumara.
You can try Tilabari instead of Lataguri. You can stay at Tilabari and cover Bindu, Jhalong, Suntalekhola, Gorumara, Chapramari, Samsing from there. You can enjoy safari in Garumara, Chaparamari. You can enjoy safari in Jaldapara too. For safaris, you must avail the forest safari cars but for all other transfers, it is better you hire a car for the entire trip.
Is that elephant safari available at Gorumara? If yes how can I book?
You must stay at Govt. cottage to avail elephant safari. Stay options are Holong, Barodabari and Jaldapara tourist lodge.
Sir we are from Cooch Behar. Want to visit Jaldapara n.p. n hollong bungalow. Can we reach hollong by driving our personal motorcycle….
Apologize that I couldn’t manage to reply earlier. I was busy with some stuff. I hope you understand that it is so difficult for me to check and respond to each query. I think it is better if we speak. Please call me on my mobile after 9 pm any day. I can surely help you with all details.
We are three persons & will stay at HOLONG on 13 March in one double bed room.May we all 3 persons are able to ride elephant safari
Yes, why not. Each elephant carries 4 persons at a time. I do not suggest elephant rides anymore. It is a pain to them and the way these elephants are tamed is very painful. I do not suggest elephant rides. It would be great if you can also skip an elephant ride.
