Feel the sound of Nature at Suntalekhola

I hope that you all can visit Dooars and I want that everyone must explore nature. And last but not least the thick forest canopy hardly allows any sunlight to enter and even at noon this place is dark like evening. And in this darkness lurks the animals. Enjoy safely!
