Continuing its course, the Teesta River gracefully flows through the enchanting landscapes of Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar. On the other hand, the Torsa River originates from the captivating Chumbi valley in Tibet. It steadily flows and eventually enters the enchanting land of Bhutan. Crossing borders, the Torsa River enters India in the Coochbehar district of West Bengal, continuing its serene course. |
