The Sevokeshwari Kali temple stands on a forested hillside at Sevoke, where the Teesta comes out of the hills. Devotees and travellers on the way to Kalimpong or the Dooars stop to climb the steps to the small shrine, with views over the river valley from the top.
Visiting
The climb is a steep set of steps from the road; take it slowly and carry water. Remove shoes before the shrine. Kali Puja in October or November brings large crowds.
How to reach
The temple is beside the road at Sevoke, about an hour from Siliguri and a few minutes from Coronation Bridge. Combine the two on the way to Kalimpong or the Dooars.
