Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to visit Greater Kailash and explore Gorumara National Park?
We find the cooler, dry months from October to March ideal for visiting Gorumara National Park, as the weather is pleasant for safaris and wildlife viewing is at its peak. The lodge itself feels particularly inviting during these months, offering a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.
What kind of wildlife can we expect to see on safaris from Greater Kailash, and what activities does the lodge facilitate?
Gorumara is renowned for its significant population of Indian one-horned rhinoceros, which we always recommend prioritizing on your safaris. Beyond rhinos, you might spot elephants, bison, and various deer species, and the lodge can easily arrange morning and afternoon jeep safaris into the park for you.
What is the overall atmosphere and standard of accommodation like at Greater Kailash?
We love the blend of comfort and local charm at Greater Kailash; it offers a welcoming, unpretentious base rather than a traditional luxury safari lodge. While not opulent, the rooms are clean and well-appointed, providing a peaceful haven after your Gorumara adventures.
How do we practically get to Greater Kailash and Gorumara National Park from a major city?
We recommend flying into Bagdogra Airport (IXB), which is the closest major airport, and then arranging a private transfer or taxi for the approximately 2.5-3 hour drive to Greater Kailash. The journey itself offers scenic glimpses of the Dooars region, setting the stage for your wildlife experience.
What should we budget for a typical stay at Greater Kailash, including park activities?
We find Greater Kailash offers excellent value; a comfortable double room typically ranges from INR 3,000-6,000 per night, depending on the season. Factor in an additional INR 1,500-2,500 per person per safari for park entry, jeep hire, and guide fees, which the lodge can help coordinate.
