Tanda Range
Biodiversity and Forest Trails: The Tanda Range is a dense forest area that forms part of the Terai central forest division. The Dineshpur Matkota Mod is a specific entry point popular for its natural beauty. It acts as a natural barrier and provides a much-needed green cover for the industrial city . The range is home to various species of deer, wild boars, and a rich variety of birds. The road passing through this range is exceptionally scenic, with tall teak and sal trees lining both sides. It is a favorite spot for nature lovers who want to experience the wilderness without traveling to a national park. The air here is noticeably cooler and fresher than in the city center. It offers a glimpse into the original ecosystem of the Terai region. Local conservation efforts are in place to protect the wildlife crossing these roads.
