Bagrakote

Bagrakote is a quaint village located 4km away from Oodlabari under Malbazar Sub-division under Jalpaiguri District in West Bengal. Bagrakote is becoming the new offbeat destination among the travelers of Dooars region. Bagrakote is surrounded with lush tea garden of over 7500 hectares of land spread over the Dooars, Terai and Darjeeling regions of North Bengal.

With lush tea garden and exquisite view of Himalayan Mountains, Bagrakote is making its way to the hearts of all the travelling junkies. Bagrakote is still a new found gem in the Dooars region due to which, few tourists are attracted towards it who crave for the glimpse of rural lifestyle. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, Bagrakote has its own world which is still untainted by the modernized society. This village is surrounded by the dense forest area and offers a wonderful trekking route towards Lolegaon. It is known for its simplicity and panoramic view of Mt Kanchenjunga. But if you are not up for the sweat breaking trek take a stroll in Leesh River nearby Bagrakote from where on a clear winter day one could be lucky to sight the awesome snowcapped Kanchenjunga. In the past few years the tea garden has lost its charm due to which the villager are facing its impact since tea garden was the main source of income. Many lost their life due to this ungrateful event but now tourism is showing them a new hope of survival.
