It was Sankara, who put the idea of visiting Jaldapara into my head. I was in the process of planning my December trip to Kolkata, Darjeeling and Gangtok, and, happening to meet him, asked his advice. �Why do you want to go to Darjeeling?� He asked. It is so crowded. Why don�t you try Jaldapara instead? You will like the jungle experience. Besides, you just might see some Rhinos!� That word clenched it. I altered my plans, and made time for Jaldapara.
