==Mohurgong and Gulma Tea Estates==
Mohurgong Tea Estate was established by the pioneer Indian planter Bipradas Palchoudhry in 1886. The place is located between [[Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary]] and [[Siliguri]]. In 1930 Bipradas's son, Amiya Palchoudhury, purchased the adjoining Gulma Tea Estate from a British company and the two together were developed as a leading tea garden in the terai region. Presently, the fourth generation of the Palchoudhury family operates the tea estate. Large groups of people from the Eastern Himalayan and Chotanagpur regions thronged to work in the tea estate. Their descendants continue to work in the tea garden.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://robuststaging.biz/index.html | title = We make tea| publisher = Gulma Tea |access-date = 25 March 2020}}</ref>
