Geography & terrain

Suntalekhola lies in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal at about 400 m, 60 km from Siliguri and 15 km from Chalsa — the waterfall village of the region, its 40-ft falls, the forests and the camps set on the Dooars foothills.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the 2000s eco era — the waterfall village of the 40-ft falls and the 2000s-era eco tourism of the Dooars life, with the village's modern role as the nature stop of the Jalpaiguri circuit and the home of the 40-ft falls and the 2000s-era camps and the forest trails; the village's history of the 2010s-era homestays and the bird corners, gives Suntalekhola its waterfall character.
