Geography & terrain

Murti lies in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal, 90 km from Siliguri and 30 km from Jaldapara — the river camp town of the region, its Murti river, the camping and the forests set on the Dooars' tea country.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the Dooars' forest era — the river camp of the Murti and the forest rest-houses of the tea-plantation country, with the town's modern role as the camping stop of the Dooars circuit and the home of the Jaldapara and the Chapramari edges; the town's history of the tea gardens and the wildlife corridors, gives Murti its river-camp character.
