Jaigaon is the Indian counterpart to Phuntsholing, a lively town just steps across the border. It is a shopper's paradise with countless stalls selling clothing, electronics, and souvenirs at negotiable prices. The real draw, however, is the street food: from spicy chaat to sweet jalebis, the aromas fill the air. Visitors can also find budget accommodations and transport links to other parts of India. The border crossing is pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to hop between the two countries for a day trip.
Don't miss
- Sample local street food like pani puri and momos from roadside stalls
- Shop for bargain clothing and electronics at the bustling markets
- Watch the constant flow of people and goods across the border gate
