Trekking

This is the primary activity in BTR.

Buxa Fort Trek (4 km one-way): The essential Buxa experience.

Lepchakha Village (3-4 km beyond Buxa Fort): A more strenuous but highly rewarding trek. This tiny Drukpa village offers jaw-dropping, 360-degree views of the entire Dooars plains, the Buxa forest, and the rivers snaking below. Homestays are available if you wish to stay the night.

Mahakal Caves (1.5 hours one-way): A rocky riverbed and gorge trek.
Hours: typically daylight-only, with mandatory guide + permit (timings can be tightened by forest staff/weather).
