Bagrakote
Bagrakote is a small village in the Malbazar subdivision of Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal, located near the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas and about 60 kilometers from Siliguri. It is known for its expansive tea gardens which once formed the backbone of the local economy, established by the Duncan Goenka Group, attracting people from nearby areas including Sikkim.
Surrounded by lush forests and scenic landscapes, Bagrakote offers picturesque views of the Himalayan mountains, including Mt. Kanchenjunga, and sits along the banks of the Leesh River. Recently, it has become an emerging offbeat tourist destination in the Dooars region, favored for its tranquility, trekking routes such as to Lolegaon, and rural charm away from commercialized spots.
Despite economic challenges due to the decline of the tea industry, tourism is providing new hope for the community. The village is accessible by road and rail, with the nearest major airport being Bagdogra and the closest railway station at New Mal Junction, about 13 kilometers away. Bagrakote also features West Bengal's first loop bridge, a notable engineering marvel attracting visitors for its panoramic hilltop views.
This blend of natural beauty, cultural roots, and evolving tourism makes Bagrakote a serene and promising destination in northern West Bengal.
