The Sukna forest at the foothills of the Himalayas on the way to Darjeeling is a quick getaway for those tired of Shiliguri's rampant commericialisation.
Where have you heard the name Sukna? Well, it has been in the news for a massive scam in the army due to sale of land in the area!
The forest, formally called the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, is just north of Shiliguri. Known much more its elephant herds, it also has lost of peacock and deer. This terai forest is famous for its rich variety of birds, making it a favourite haunt of birders.
