A short trip to SALBAGAN, Coochbihar -
I and one of my friend started journey from Alipurduar (my home town) to get into the wilderness of SALBAGAN. We went off from near by Bus stand at 11:15 Am and after 40 minutes we reached Khagrabari. This is the place where we started our actual journey of reaching SALBAGAN. We were confused how to go but we used Google Map and reach the place after 20 minutes of walking through the road. We asked little kids about the place and they describe it as the "Hub of Jackals". Finally we reached the exact place of siting this animal. They said Python can also be found here.

Beauty of Sal Trees and Jackals of SALBAGAN -
When we enter into the woodland of SALBAGAN, we felt a smooth breeze along the way and we were amused by unexpected entry into the small wilderness of SALBAGAN. You will love it during Winter but if you love birds than you have to visit it during Rainy season because Pheasent Tailed Jacana can be there to embrace your beautiful eyes with their presence. there was park which is closed now due overwhelming numbers of picnickers which disturbs the wildlife and makes the place dirty with plastic bottles, glasses or plastics,etc. Young men wants to join army come here to do physical exercise and running. We found elderly men who cleans the place almost everyday but he actually do it for collecting waste for earning wage.
There are no big animals but the place is widely recognized as the place of Jackals and foxes. Python and some other reptiles can be found there. birds can be found there like Treepie, Pheasent tailed Jacana, Parrots, Flycatcher, Bronze Winged Jacana, Tit's, Kingfisher'setc. Black kites roam around sky above SALBAGAN place. There are many Sal trees, Mahogany tree's, banyan trees,etc. There is a old fashion small Hindu temple of Lord Shiva and Goddess Mother Kali. A River which flows in the middle of SALBAGAN. left side of the river is actually more common residence of Indian jackal during morning due to number of human comes in the morning on the ride side of SALBAGAN because that's where the park was situated, children plays there. People there are moderate friendly but children there are very friendly. More things will be updated soon about the place so keep comes to the blog.
Best Time to Visit SALBAGAN -
There are 2 things to know before choose when to visit this place.
1. If you planning to watch the fantastic bird named Pheasent Tailed Jacana then the best time would be during Rainy days while the day get little shiny. This time they actually go for bmating and breed the next generation. You can get a great moment of enjoyment or you can have a short documentary of that bird.
2. If you planning for Jackal then you may opt for coming here during winter which would be best because catchy environment, clear look and jackal siting rise at that time. The park will be amazing at that time and you can have great family time.
I wish if you are planning to come here then you will not be disappointed instead you will make another beautiful memory to remember later. This is an offbeat destination from a small city of West Bengal, India.
