Coronation Bridge — better known locally as Bagh Pool or Sevoke Bridge — is one of the most iconic landmarks along the route connecting Siliguri to Darjeeling. Spanning the mighty Teesta River in the Darjeeling District of West Bengal, this historic bridge connects the districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri and was built to commemorate the Coronation of King George V.
About Coronation Bridge
The bridge gets its popular local name "Bagh Pool" from the two Lion (Bagh) statues that stand at one of its entrances — a distinctive architectural feature that has made it instantly recognisable to generations of travellers. The bridge has served as a critical transport link between the hills and the plains of North Bengal for decades.
Scenic Beauty of Coronation Bridge
The Coronation Bridge offers a stunning view of the Teesta River below — one of the most powerful and beautiful rivers in the Himalayas. The combination of the flowing green-blue waters, the lush evergreen surroundings, and the tranquil atmosphere makes it one of the most picturesque spots on the journey between Siliguri and Darjeeling.
