Bagrakote (also known as Bagrakote/Bagrakot Tea Garden) 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. Thus people from neighbouring villages and even some far off places like Sikkim have migrated to Bagrakote (mainly post independence), in search of better living conditions.Bargach is the capital of bagrakote.
