Topography
It is a magnificent mountainous region which is fringed to the north, east and west by three watershed ridges; the eastern and northern border with Tibet while the western border with Nepal. Two rivulets of Teesta, namely Rangit and Rangpo form the southern border with West Bengal.

Religion

The landscape is refreshing, simultaneously, the gleaming Kanchanjunga (8586m), the third highest mountain of the world adds to its natural beauty.
