English: Gateway to the ruined Dâling Fort alias Dalim fort near Gorubathan in Kalimpong district.
The Dâling Fort alias Dalim fort is situated at Gorubathan in Kalimpong town of Kalimpong district. It is currently being utilized as a bird watching center. It is located at a distance of 90 kilometers from Kalimpong and is situated at a height of 322 mt. from sea level. The fort was built by the last Lepcha King Pano Gaeboo Achyok. It is said that he was one of the most powerful kings. The Bhutanese army tried to invade the area several times, but they always got defeated by King Gaeboo Achyok. During one such invasion of Bhutenese King on the Damsang Fort, the Lepcha King took shelter in this fort. The Bhutanese King sent an ambassador to the Lepcha King to make a peace treaty. The meeting was held at the Dalim Fort. During this meeting, the Bhutanese King made Gaeboo Achyok to drink plenty of alcohol. While King Achyok was intoxicated by the alcohol, the Bhutanese King beheaded him and threw his head in the nearby Chel River. Since then the Chel River is known as Bhutaydaha. The Dalim Fort was occupied by the Bhutanese King and it was under their custody till 1865. After that, the British East India Company took over the territory. In 2018, the West Bengal Heritage Commission declared the site as heritage. |
