A Special International Visit to BANCHAYA Art Village

As we begin our Banchaya Expedition, the travelers arrive — bringing stories, curiosity, and the spirit of discovery!

Visit on 5th November 2025, Banachaya Village, Alipurduar

We were deeply honored to welcome Mr. Kjell Borneland, Managing Director of Sweden based tourism organisation, to BANCHAYA Village! 🌿

This visit marks a historic milestone for our community — the first international guest since the village’s relocation from inside the Buxa Tiger Reserve. It was a proud moment to showcase our stunning natural surroundings, vibrant culture, and the warmth of our people.

Mr. Kjell’s kind words of appreciation and his promise to return with friends truly inspired us to continue nurturing our vision for cultural and eco-friendly development.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Mahesh Moktan (Director, KB Academy), Mr. Sudhir Moktan (Chairman, Green Revolution), and Mr. Kishor Sharma (Secretary, Sidhiman Rai Ground Welfare Society) for accompanying him and supporting this meaningful visit.

A new chapter begins for BANCHAYA — where culture meets conservation, and the world is welcome. 🌾✨
