Bagrakote is a village in the Mal CD block in the Malbazar subdivision of the Jalpaiguri district in the state of West Bengal, India. The main reason behind Bagrakote being called as a Tea Garden is that it was by the virtue of the Duncan Goenka Group that established a tea garden in Bagrakote providing a stable livelihood. People from neighbouring villages and even some far off places like Sikkim have migrated to Bagrakote (mainly post independence). Bagrakote is the starting point of NH 717A, which traverses out of NH 17.
