About Thakurganj and the Mahananda
Thakurganj sits in the far north-east corner of Bihar, where the state meets both West Bengal and Nepal, with the Mahananda and Kanakai rivers flowing past and Siliguri under an hour away. Tea gardens start here, the rivers are wide and stony, and the border feel is strong. It is quiet countryside, not a sight; go for the riverside and the corner-of-the-map feeling.
What to see and do
- Mahananda and Kanakai riverbanks
- Tea gardens around Thakurganj
- Galgalia border with Nepal
- Siliguri and the Darjeeling road close by
