Rajabhatkhawa- Where Jungle Starts
We meant to have a leisurely trip to Rajabhatkhawa. I was curious to visit the Rajabhatkhawa Nature Interpretation Centre; more commonly, the Rajabhatkhawa Museum. On both sides of the road were jungles, the buffer zone of the Buxa Tiger Reserve; and the ride seemed thrilling.
