melli

Melli (also spelt Malli) is a town on the West Bengal-Sikkim border on the River Teesta. The appellation Melli in Nepali means the place where the dead are cremated. Melli is one of the few towns present in India that lie in two different states. A bridge connects the two parts of the town. The part of the town in West Bengal is also called as Melli Bazaar. The town lies on National Highway 31A connecting Siliguri to Gangtok. The town lies at an elevation of about 100m. It is located 7 km upstream from Teesta Bazaar. On the Sikkimese side, the Yuksom Breweries, which produces most of the beer in the region, is based. The breweries and a biscuit factory are the major industries in the region. River rafting can also be undertaken from this point. Kalimpong, the largest town in the region lies 20 km away from Melli. Local made rum and whisky are available in the Sikkimese side at prices which are lower than most of India.
