Offbeat Tours
Have
you ever felt like going off the beaten track? Traveling in a train, have
you seen a small lonely hillock and imagined a small nest on its top where
you could leave, away from the maddening city life? Looking through the
glass pane of your AC hotel room, have you ever thought of staying in
the forest visible in the distance? Getting close to the nature often
means leaving some of the comforts of modern life. Be it traveling on
mountain bike, trekking on foot, or sitting on a watchtower for a glimpse
of the elusive wild animal. If that is your idea of travel, join us on
an offbeat tour through the most exotic destinations of north-bengal.
We have all the options to appeal to you, and the best part, all of our
tours are customized. So you tell us what you want rather that we telling
you what are on offer. Here are some glimpses to help you decide.
Trek
The most common trek in the region is Sandakphu,
but there are plenty of other options for you to explore. You can go for
a trek from Sewak-Loleygaon. This trek starts at the bank of Tista and
in 4 days you reach the beautiful village of Loleygaon.
You can go for a trek in Samsing
including Neora
valley national park. The possibilities are endless. more

come here every year. There are a large number of other places including
Rasikbill, Gajoldoba,
Tista and others where you can spend a few days watching the birds. For

Ethnic
Tourism and Homestay
This is a new concept in the region. naturebeyond actively encourages
guests to stay with local villagers and understand their culture. Organised
home stay with local community is arranged in the village of Tinchuley
near Darjeeling. naturebeyond can also organise home stay in other places
in North-Bengal depending on guest requirement.
Camping
Regular camps are organised by naturebeyond for students as well as seniors.
We have permanent camp resort at Samsing where you can visit any time
even if you want to visit this region as part of a small group. more
Biking
Mountain biking is one of the safest and the most enchanting ways to visit
this part of the world. To start with, you no longer need to miss the
beautiful whistle of a hill myna or the innocent smile of the village
boy because your car is traveling too fast. You can travel at your own
pace and enjoy the surroundings. The mountain bikes also allow you the
flexibility to occasionally go out of the beaten track and venture into
an uncharted path. We have special mountain
biking package tour. But as with other offbeat tours, you can decide
on a tour as per your preference and convenience and we will provide you
customized service. more
Rafting
Tista in the mountain provides excellent scope for rafting. naturebeyond
organises half or full day rafting tour in Tista. Depending on your requirement,
longer duration rafting tour can also be organised. more
