Do you have any idea regarding the accomodation available in Jaldapara Wild Life Sanctuary. Next January i have a plan to visit Jaldapara Wild Life Sanctuary.

Located in Siliguri state, the Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuarty is a must visit destination for nature and wildlife lovers. Also, one does not ahve to worry about accommodation, as there are numerous hotels in Siliguri to choose from.
