Gorubathan is known for its beautiful landscape, rivers, mountains, forests and tea gardens which is a destination for tourists. Gorubathan is demarcated by river Jaldhaka with neighbouring country Bhutan in the eastern side, Sikkim State in the northern side with dense forest of Rachela Range, Kalimpong Block I&II in the western side and the vast plain areas of Jalpaiguri District in the southern sector. Main income source of the people are crops like tea, areca nuts, black cardamom, brooms, ginger and other fruits and vegetable. [3] HistoryGorubathan has its own unique history. The land is once ruled by Lepcha Kings. There was a Lepcha king namely Gaebbo Achyok who was born and brought up in Chyakhung Dara in Lungsysol, Gorubathan. There are ruins of a fort known built by King Gaeboo Achyok as Dalim Fort on the top of a hill at Dalim Busty. Recently, Govt of West Bengal announced the place as heritage site. How the nomenclature ‘Gorubathan’ was started is still controversial but due to vast grazing land and rearing of huge cattles in the open plain land of this area in earlier time must have started calling the place as Gorubathan (herds of cattle/Goru means- Ox, Bathan means -Herd) in Nepali language by the local people. Some say that this place must have been dominated by the Gurus (priests) with their deity and supernatural powers in earlier times and subsequently started calling Gorubathan. It is also said that the cowboys from Bhutan used to supply Ox (Goru) in bulk meant for Kalimpong Hat Bazar from Bhutan. They used to stay on the bank of Chel river of present Sombarey Bazar for a day. Those Ox used to graze in the vast grazing areas of Upper Fagu and its adjoining areas. this is how the name of the place Gorubathan (herd of Ox) came into existence.
