CHAPRAMARI WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
Nagrakata, West Bengal, India
Chapramari is essentially an extension of Gorumara National Park - the two are actually divided by the Murti river. In fact Chapramari is bounded on its west by Murti river and on its east side by Jaldhaka river. Although this is a relatively small forest (about 10 square kms in area), it's one of the oldest in Dooars. In 1895 it was first recognized as a forest reserve due to its diversity in flora & fauna. Subsequently in 1998 it became a wildlife sanctuary. The name Chapramari originated from a type of fish (known as 'Chopra') that are found in abundance here ('mari'). Once you reach Chalsa and move towards Nagrakata along the National Highway 17, the forests that you see after crossing Murti river on both sides of the road (for a stretch of about 7KM till Jaldhaka river) is Chapramari. Most tourists who visit Gorumara National Park, also visit Chapramari Watchtower. Access to Chapramari is easier if you are staying at Murti village area or at Lataguri.
