If you are at
Siliguri, you might want to make a quick trip to the majestic Sevoke Coronation
Bridge.
Built in 1941
to mark the coronation of King George VI, The Bridge is considered among the
best architectural wonders in the country. The Bridge spans the mighty River
Teesta at the confluence with its tributary, the Rangeet and stretches from
Siliguri to Kalihora.
The 20 km
drive from Siliguri is well worth it as the Coronation Bridge
gives you a breathtaking view of River Teesta below and the tall green
mountains on both sides.
Till recently,
visitors enroute to Sikkim
or Darjeeling
used to break journey here to admire the scenic view. The area is now being
developed, thanks to the efforts of a non-governmental organization called Save
Coronation Bridge Committee. From a brief stop over point, the Sevoke Hill
region is today a major attraction for both locals and tourists who visit the
spot to revel in the beauty of the emerald waters, set against the backdrop of
abundant foliage and lush green hills. |
