This quiet village is located at the entrance to Buxa Tiger Reserve, 15 km from Alipurdur city and 180 km from Siliguri.

Climate of Rajabhatkhawa blends humid plains and subtropical hills, with dramatic monsoon intensity:

• Monsoon (July - September): Heavy rainfall (up to 7.6 mm/night), 85% humidity, and frequent thunderstorms transform forests into emerald wonderlands. Trekking trails turn slippery but waterfalls roar to life.
