  • This point also marks the end of plain-lands and begining of hills. The road leads to Kalimpong, Gangtok, North Sikkim and Nathu-la at Indo-China border. Starting from almost 0.ft(msl) it ends at 15000/16000ft from MSL. While the BG railway track criss-crosses thru' the thick forests & tea-gardens of Dooars, kissing the feet of high mountains and crossing a nos. of rivers & streams rushing down from the hills, on way to Assam. Before 2004 it was a metre-gauge track with steam engines (followed by MG diesels) - and the journey? - FANTASTIC & HIGHLY ROMANTIC. With luck on your side, you may have a glimpse of both carnivores & herbivores of the forest from the train.
  • As the point has been referred to as Sevok Railway Station, It would have been better if the location would have been shown more towards left where the real station is located. I would rather prefer calling the location as Sevok Rail Gate or Sevok Level Crossing.
