Gajoldoba is famous for its dam on the Teesta basin. The Gajoldoba barrage was built for irrigation purposes of the agricultural land of North Bengal. It is a one-hour drive from Siliguri. The natural beauty of Gajoldoba attracts tourists from different places. It is situated along the Fulbari Canal, and the water body enhances the beauty of the area. The reservoir is surrounded by dense forests of Baikunthapur. In the month of November, the reflection of Mt. Kanchenjunga on the Teesta canal is mind-blowing.
