ABOUT: Jayanti is a small forest village, which is under the Buxa Tiger Reserve in Alipurduar District of West Bengal. It is approximately 30 km away from the main town of Alipurduar. Jayanti is a place where tourists can easily spend some days to enjoy the beauty of Jayanti, to visit around a wide quantity of beautiful places in Buxa Tiger Reserve area and the total east Dooars. Beneath the vibrant ecology is the Jayanti village, the oldest village of the Dooars, which is slowly fading away as the time is passing by. It is located in the River Jayanti, forming a border with the hills of Bhutan. It is a very popular destination among hikers and other people because of the beautiful surrounding landscapes, dense mountains and beautiful waterfalls. The 13 km trek from Buxaduar to Jayanti is especially popular, passing through the dense forest of the Buxa Tiger Reserve. It is located at 26.69oN and 89.70oE. The Jayanti  river remains dry throughout the year, during the rainy seasons, the river fills up and blocks the way to the other side of the river. However during monsoon, a refreshing environment is very special to relax with the attracting sound of the flowing river, chirping of birds, relaxing fragrance of nature and refreshing cool winds.

ROUTES TO JAYANTI: Because Jayanti is a small village, it doesn’t have its own airport or railway station. Its nearest airport is at Siliguri, West Bengal which is the Bagdogra Airport, 196 km away from Jayanti from where we will have to move to Alipurduar, as Alipurduar is the nearest city from Jayanti. The nearest railway station is also at Alipurduar. There are bus and taxi routes between Jayanti and Alipurduar. You can also go to Jayanti by your own cars.
WHEN TO VISIT JAYANTI: You can visit Jayanti at any time but it is very much noticeable that most visitors don’t go there during the rainy seasons, as the water in the river fills up very quickly during rain and quite a times floods occur, and also route to the Mahakal cave becomes inaccessible, because it is in the other side of the Jayanti river. Hence, it is to be advised to avoid the rainy season when the area might become quite inaccessible.
