Gulma – Nature’s Secret Just Outside Siliguri

In a quiet corner just beyond the hustle of Siliguri, Gulma is a secret whisper from nature. If you’re a tourist looking for a short escape with all the charm of a forest retreat but without the chaos of long travel, Gulma might just be your new favourite hideout. With the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary forming its lush green backdrop and the hills of Latpanchar looming gracefully in the distance, this quaint region feels like it’s been taken straight out of a postcard.

Gulma is a rivulet that lends its name to the surrounding area, and a charming little railway halt. It’s one of those places that hasn’t yet been trampled by mass tourism, which is what makes it special. And what better way to enjoy this serene setting than to stay at a homestay in Gulma?

Film buffs might get a thrill from knowing that movies like Jagga Jasoos and Barfi were partly filmed right in these serene surroundings. When you walk through the fields of Mohargaon Gulma tea garden or along the rivulet, you might recognise the cinematic charm. But Gulma isn’t just about pretty views. For the nature lover, it’s a gateway to jungle trails, birdwatching, and photography. And after a day spent wandering the wild paths of Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, there’s nothing more comforting than coming back to a homestay where you’re greeted with a hot cup of chai and the aroma of home-cooked Bengali food.

Easy to Reach, Hard to Forget

The best part? You don’t have to plan an epic journey to get here. If you’re from Kolkata or South Bengal, just hop on a train to NJP (18 km) or a flight to Bagdogra (26 km). From there, Gulma is a short and scenic drive away. It’s an ideal weekend getaway and a brilliant stopover if you’re heading towards the hills of Kurseong or Kalimpong.
