Murti is a picturesque tourist spot located on the banks of the Murti River in the Dooars region of Northern Bengal. Spending few tranquil days beside the knee deep snaking Murti River is a perfect break especially for those who are looking for some serenity and peace. Murti is a great place for nature lovers and bird watchers. You can also take a dip in the crystal clear waters of Murti River or do some fishing whenever you like. Camping is the most popular activity in Murti along with hiking. The Gorumara National Park, which is home to Indian Rhinos, Wild Elephants and various bird species is just a stone’s throw from Murti.

A particular place on the bank of river Murti has also assumed the name of the river. For most tourists visiting Dooars, Murti means the riverside of North Dhupjhora area.
Even during the late 20th century, the area was heavily forested and infested with wildlife and decoits. Few people would cross the forest after darkness. And the road from Murti crossing over Chapramari forests reaches National Highway at a junction that is still called “Khunia” crossing. Over the years the wild life population saw an increasing trend whereas the miscreants slowly withered away. Today the area is one of the most peaceful and arguably one of the best places to soak into the natural exuberance.

On the Western Side of the river Murti and next to a forest range office came up one of the first tourist accommodation of Dooars known as Banani, the forest accommodation is still one of the most popular among tourists in the area.
As tourism flourished in the early 21st century in the area, soon several tourist resorts came up. They include both private and government initiatives. An alternative road was also developed through the riverside with large number of resorts on its side.
