The Place

Sampan at Jaldapara is a small boutique retreat designed for those who wish to stay close to nature without giving up comfort. With just four thoughtfully designed rooms, it offers an intimate atmosphere where every guest feels at home. The resort’s greatest advantage is its location – right on the edge of Jaldapara National Park and only about 500 meters from the Salkumar forest entry gate. This makes it an ideal base for jungle safaris, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the peace of the Dooars landscape. Surrounded by greenery and away from the rush of towns, Sampan gives you the rare experience of waking up to the sounds of birds and falling asleep under a sky unspoiled by city lights. The food here is another highlight – homely Bengali meals with forgotten classics and a touch of Dooars flavour, served in a setting that celebrates local culture. For the educated Bengali traveller looking for peace, authenticity and proximity to the forest, Sampan offers the perfect balance.

"Sampan has only a few rooms which made our holiday very personal. Unlike big hotels, there was no rush or crowd. Sitting on the balcony with tea and hearing birds all around was the best part of our mornings."
