West Bengal
This functional but comfortable West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation (WBTDC) hotel is just outside the park in Madarihat town. It has rooms in wooden and concrete blocks or in newer cottages. It fills up at busy times, so you should book in advance, online or at the Siliguri Tourism Centre or at other WBTDC properties or through Wild Planet Travels.
Weekends can be swamped with noisy families and youth groups.
