Discover Jalpaiguri
Jalpaiguri (জলপাইগুড়ি Jalpāiguṛi) is a town in the western Dooars of West Bengal. The town has historical links going back to the deep past, but it really grew as an administrative centre during British rule. Earlier, Jalpaiguri had a direct broad gauge rail link with Kolkata via eastern Bengal. With the partition of India, railway links were realigned and Jalpaiguri lost some of its strategic importance to Siliguri. On the road and rail link for Assam and the North-East, Jalpaiguri is re-inventing itself as an agricultural and business centre. The main town of Jalpaiguri is just beside National Highway 31D, which connects Assam and the entire North East to the rest of India. Jalpaiguri is about 42 kilometers from Siliguri. A state highway begins at Jalpaiguri, connecting to Haldibari, near the border of Bangladesh.
