Why Buxa Fort is a Must-Visit
Buxa Fort
was once used by the British to imprison revolutionaries and political
prisoners. Its stone ruins sit atop a forested ridge, offering panoramic views
of Bhutan hills and the lush greenery below. It’s also the starting point for
multiple forest trails inside the Buxa Tiger Reserve.
This ride
is more than just a journey — it’s a ride through layers of history, nature,
and silence.
