Essential Checklist for Riders Entering Wildlife Areas in Dooars

Dooars, with its dense forests, flowing rivers, and wildlife sanctuaries, is one of the most thrilling biking destinations in North Bengal. But riding into wildlife zones like Gorumara, Chapramari, Buxa, or Jaldapara requires preparation.

At Bike Wale Bhaiya, we believe safety and respect for nature are non-negotiable. Before you start your engine, here’s a bike rental checklist every rider must follow while entering Dooars’ forest areas.

 

 1. Valid Documents

You must carry:

·         Valid Driving License

·         Government ID (Aadhaar / Passport / Voter ID)

·         Rental Agreement or Booking Receipt from Bike Wale Bhaiya

·         Forest Entry Pass (issued at the entry gate or local range office)

 Pro Tip: Keep both physical and digital copies.

 

2. Safety Gear Checklist

Your ride must be equipped with:

·         Helmet (provided free with every rental)

·         Riding gloves

·         Shoes with grip (avoid slippers or sandals)

·         Optional: Elbow & knee guards, riding jackets (rentable at BWB)

 During monsoon, carry waterproof covers and extra socks.

 

3. Forest Riding Rules to Remember

·         No honking or loud revving near wildlife zones

·         Don’t stop the bike unnecessarily inside forest territory

·         Keep speed below 30 km/h

·         Avoid group rides with more than 4-5 vehicles in sensitive zones

·         Never litter — carry waste bags

·         Do not click photos where prohibited

Tip: Switch off mobile music or loud devices. Let nature speak.

 

 4. Bike Condition Check

At Bike Wale Bhaiya, we ensure well-maintained vehicles, but double-check:

·         Brake condition (front + rear)

·         Headlight & indicator function

·         Tyre grip (especially for forest trails)

·         Fuel level — petrol pumps are rare in interior routes

·         Horn and mirrors working

·         Tool kit (on request)

Carry a small tyre inflator or puncture kit if heading offbeat.

 

5. Wildlife Zone Entry Fees & Permit Info

Most forests require an entry fee:

·         Gorumara / Chapramari: ₹100 – ₹250 (vehicle + person)

·         Buxa / Jaldapara: ₹150 – ₹300

·         Forest guide may be mandatory for deeper rides

Always check latest rates at the forest check post or ask our BWB support team for current info.

 

6. Stay Options Inside or Near Forests

Pick stays with bike-friendly access:

·         Eco resorts in Lataguri (Gorumara access)

·         Jhalong Homestays (Jaldapara route)

·         Buxa/Alipurduar lodges

We suggest early bookings as bike riders often get priority parking zones in homestays.

 

7. Download Offline Essentials

In forest zones, network may drop. Prepare with:

·         Offline maps (Google Maps offline area download)

·         Forest route guide PDF or screenshots

·         BWB customer care saved: 7602815008

Optional: GoPro / mobile mount for safe filming (available at BWB)
