Dooars Wildlife Safari comprises Jaldaphara, Chapramari, Buxa wildlife and Gorumara National Parks. These wildlife sanctuaries  span a large part of North Bengal, bordering the North Eastern State of Assam and the Dragon Kingdom of  Bhutan. Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary is the biggest wildlife park of the four, covering an area of 100 square kilometers of thick sal and other tropical trees.

The park is home to the famous Indian one-horned rhino, bison, elephant, barking deer, royal Bengal tiger, bear, wild Boar and a host of bird species. Water bodies in and around these national parks attract a lot of migratory birds. These lakes are flush with different varieties of birds and ducks. It is a bird-watching paradise during the winter season.
