- 2 Jalpesh temple, Maynaguri Road. The massive 126 feet high and 120 feet wide Shiva temple, built in the 9th century, was actually destroyed and rebuilt many times. It looks like a mosque because it was designed by a Muslim architect. Inside the temple, there is a Shivalinga called "Anadi". The ideal time to visit is July and August, in the monsoon, because of the mighty "Bole Bom" festival, and in March and April, during the Shivaratri. After worshipping, devotees collect water from the Teesta River and walk barefoot 15 km (9.3 mi) to the temple.
- Jatileswar Temple.
- 3 Tin Bigha Corridor (তিনবিঘা করিডোর Tinbighā Kariḍor). A small stretch of land connecting the Dahagram exclave of Bangladesh to the rest of the country.
