Travel Tips Of Rocky Island
Dooars, West Bengal, India
Rocky Island is a relatively new and vibrant offbeat destination located on the banks of the Murti River, where the plains of the Dooars begin to meet the ascending hills of Kalimpong. Unlike the wider, shallower river at Murti village, the river here is narrow, fast-flowing, and filled with massive , smooth boulders that give the place its name. It is located just 2 km from the famous tea-growing village of Samsing. The area was popularized by early adventurers who sought a more rugged camping experience. Today, it stands as the "adventure capital" of the Dooars, attracting youth and thrill-seekers who enjoy rock climbing and river-crossing. The geography of Rocky Island is dramatic, featuring steep cliffs, dense forests, and the roaring sound of the river crashing against giant stones. The area is surrounded by lush orange orchards and tea gardens, providing a vibrant green backdrop. It serves as the base for several trekking routes leading into the Neora Valley National Park, offering a gateway to the high-altitude wilderness. The accommodation here is mostly in the form of riverside tents and small homestays, promoting a minimalist and eco-friendly lifestyle. It is a place where you can spend hours just sitting on a rock with your feet in the ice-cold mountain water, watching the mist roll down from the hills. The biodiversity is equally impressive, with a high concentration of mountain birds and butterflies. For many, Rocky Island represents the raw, untamed spirit of North Bengal, offering a perfect blend of mountain chill and forest mystique.
