How to explore beautiful orange gardens and orange harvesting at Tururk

Posted on November 23, 2023 | by indispottravel

Splendid natural beauty is what attracts visitors to Tururk or Tooruk. This picturesque village of Kurseong subdivision is almost at an altitude of 4800ft. Away from the crowded city life, this tourist destination enables visitors to connect with nature.

What to see in Turuk?

The main attraction of Tururk is the culture of organic step cultivation. You will get to see cauliflower, cabbage, potato, radish, and other seasonal vegetables in abundance. In winter the trees are laden with oranges. The sweet fragrance of orange blossoms filled the air of the entire village.

Along with the fruits and vegetables, many colourful flowers on the roadside too will steal your heart. The small village appears like a painting on the canvas. If you go a little down from Turuk, you will reach Sittong. You may go there and experience the pristine beauty of Lepcha Falls and Riyang River.

As you trek through the village paths surrounded by greenery relishing the chirping of the birds, you may feel surreal. If you wish you can visit Bagora or Chimney trekking or by car. The jungle with different kinds of trees is something you can enjoy on this trek route.

What are the things to do in this region?

Explore the Splendid Natural Beauty of Chuikhim

Posted on September 15, 2023 | by indispottravel

Kalimpong is a popular hill station in North Bengal well known for its panoramic views, orchid gardens, and Buddhist monasteries. Though it is a delight to visit Kalimpong, the destination often remains overcrowded. If you are searching for an offbeat location with the spectacular beauty of Kalimpong, you can visit Chuikhim, a small village in the Kalimpong district.

Courtesy: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nitya800/26261660121

This small village was hardly visited by tourists, mainly because it was almost inaccessible. One traveling from the New Jalpaiguri station took 5 hours to reach this place via Kalimpong. In recent years, the road condition has improved, and another alternative way through Bagrakote has become operational, which has renewed the interest of visitors to explore the unbelievable natural beauty of this small village.

What are the top attractions of this village?

This valley is situated on the slopes of the mountain and mist and clouds make it appear like a wonderland. The valley gently rolls down to the Leesh river bed. Another river Ghish flows through this region. Bagratoke, a small tea garden lies between these two rivers.

The place is all about enjoying the mesmerizing beauty of nature rather than hopping around in search of an attractive spot. Each corner of the village offers a magnificent view. Just spend the day lazily walking through the Chel forest, enjoying the stunning sunrise or sunset from atop the hill inside the village, or sitting ideally on the bed of the Leesh River. If you are looking for some adventure, trekking to the Ghish riverbed can be a good option. There are waterfalls, caves, and canyon formations in the river valley, which may give you a rush of adrenaline.

How is the weather in Chuikhim?

The weather is pleasant around the year. So, this place can be visited anytime. Winters are a bit chilly. The pollution-free serene atmosphere is what is most enjoyable.

Witness the Orange Orchard in Shelphu?

Posted on September 7, 2023 | by indispottravel

Sittong and Shelphu are one of the most untouched tourist destinations yet to be discovered. These villages are situated on the foothills of the Darjeeling Himalayas. They are also famous as Orange Orchards of Bengal.

These scenic Lepcha villages of North Bengal are valleys in between the green hills. As the winter approaches, the air is filled with the exotic aroma of orange blossoms. In winter, it appears someone has poured orange colours on these villages. Along with the orange cultivation, organic farming and orchids are something you cannot miss while visiting these places.

If you are searching for a holiday destination that will let you spend some cozy quality time with your family, Sittong and Shelphu can be the perfect choice.

Getting there

These beautiful hamlets are a couple of hours drive from the Bagdogra Airport or New Jalpaiguri Station. The places have excellent road connectivity. Buses and taxis are easily available from the New Jalpaiguri Station, Siliguri, or Bagdogra Airport plying to these places. Shelphu is almost 48kms from New Jalpaiguri station.

Major attractions

One of the primary reasons to visit these picturesque villages is to look at the orange orchards from close. It is during the winter months you will get to see the entire village covered with oranges. It is indeed an incredible experience, especially for those who have never seen the orange orchards before.

Another popular reason why many tourists now visit these places is for bird watching. More than 200 varieties of birds have been sighted in these and surrounding villages which include many rare as well as commonly sighted birds.

You may visit the Sittong Church or the old Monastery. From the Monastery ground you may get a view of the full Kanchenjunga ranges. The snow-clad Kanchenjunga is a beauty to behold.

Accommodations

Tourism has become popular in the last few years and therefore several places to stay have also emerged. Homestays and lodges are the common accommodations available in these areas.

If you are want to stay at Sittong, there are few good homestays available.
