Kalijhora
Kalijhora is a small village located on the banks of the Teesta River in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, near the border with Kalimpong. It sits along National Highway 10, about 28–30km from Siliguri, making it easily accessible by road. Previously a popular picnic destination thanks to its natural charm and forested surroundings, the area’s landscape and character were transformed by the construction of the Teesta Low Dam IV hydropower project, which submerged much of the original riverbank.
Despite this change, Kalijhora remains a tranquil retreat favored by nature lovers and those seeking to explore the unspoilt valleys, forests, and riversides of North Bengal. The village borders the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, providing opportunities for trekking, birdwatching, and visits to nearby scenic spots such as Latpanchar, Mongpoo, and the famous Sevoke Coronation Bridge.
Accommodation here is limited, with most visitors relying on homestays or nearby forest bungalows. Kalijhora’s picturesque setting also holds a place in Indian film history, as classic movies like "Barsaat Ki Ek Raat" were shot here, adding to its quiet allure for visitors seeking both natural beauty and a touch of nostalgia.
