Photos Of Buxa Fort
Dooars, West Bengal, India
Historical Sentinel: Buxa Fort is a historic monument perched at an altitude of 2,600 feet on the Sinchula Range within the Buxa Tiger Reserve. The fort has a deep and somewhat dark history, originally built by the King of Bhutan to guard the famous Silk Route connecting India and Tibet. In 1865, fo llowing the Sinchula Treaty, the British took over the fort and converted it into a high-security prison. It became notorious for housing Indian freedom fighters, including many prominent revolutionaries, due to its remote and inaccessible location. The fort is surrounded by dense, leopard-infested forests, making escape nearly impossible. Over time, the structure has fallen into ruins, but it still stands as a powerful symbol of the Indian independence struggle. To reach the fort, visitors must undertake a scenic 5 km trek starting from Santalabari. The trail winds through lush tropical vegetation, offering glimpses of rare birds and butterflies. Reaching the fort provides a panoramic view of the vast Dooars plains and the Bhutanese mountains. Today, the fort is a major trekking hub, attracting history buffs and adventure seekers alike. The atmosphere at the fort is somber yet awe-inspiring, as one walks through the old stone cells and barracks. It also served as a refuge for Tibetan monks fleeing the Chinese occupation in the 1950s. The site is now maintained by the Archeological Survey of India and the Forest Department. Visiting Buxa Fort is not just a physical journey but a walk through time, where every stone tells a story of resistance and resilience. The surrounding Buxa Tiger Reserve adds a layer of wildlife excitement to the historical exploration. It is a must-visit destination for anyone wanting to understand the soul of North Bengal's history and its deep connection with the surrounding wilderness.
