Dooars, West Bengal, India

The fairytale setting of Suntalekhola elevates you to far greater heights than the altimeter’s reading of 2,475 ft. Lovingly girdled by a gurgling brook and surrounded on all sides by towering mountains in varying shades of green, Suntalekhola is connected to the civilised world only by a hanging footbridge that shakes every time you take a step. It doesn’t get further away from it all than this. Step into the surrounding woods, where there’s no sound save the rumble of flowing water and the rustling of leaves underfoot, lit by slanting sunrays playing hide-and-seek on the forest floor. The Suntalekhola stream emerges gently from the Neora Valley National Park here and lends its name to the place. The stream in turn got its name from the orange trees (in Nepali suntale means orange and khola, a rivulet) laden with fruit in winter, which dot the unending greenery. Idyllic.
