Murti River
মূর্তি নদী
A clear, pebble-bedded river flowing through the forest, with resorts and forest cabins along its banks. It is a popular spot in the Dooars for sunsets and picnics.
The Murti River rises in the mountains on the Bhutan border and flows through the forest between Gorumara and Chapramari. Its riverbed is wide and covered with pebbles, and in winter the water is shallow and clear enough to see the bottom. Around the bridge are the forest department's Murti Lodge and several resorts. Visitors often walk along the riverbank, picnic and photograph sunsets, and if you're lucky you may see wild elephants drinking at the forest edge on the far bank. During the monsoon the water level rises sharply, so never go into the river. It is about 15 km from Lataguri.
