Tin Bigha Corridor

Tin Bigha Corridor is a narrow strip of land in Mekhliganj, Cooch Behar District, West Bengal, on the India-Bangladesh border. It connects the Bangladeshi enclave of Dahagram-Angarpota with mainland Bangladesh. Measuring about 178 metres by 85 metres, it is notable for its unique cross-border access arrangement and its role in the 2015 enclave exchange. The site is visited for its distinctive border landscape and historical context.

Visitors can expect to see a narrow, fenced road corridor flanked by border fencing and security posts, set in flat agricultural surroundings near Mekhliganj. The area is a regulated border zone managed by security personnel. Visitors can observe the corridor from designated roadside areas, view the fencing and gateway structures, and understand the layout of the enclave connection. There are no extensive tourist structures inside the corridor itself; the experience is primarily sightseeing and observing the border infrastructure from permitted points.

The corridor was provided to connect the Dahagram-Angarpota enclave with mainland Bangladesh. An agreement for its use was implemented in 1992, and 24-hour access was enabled in 2011. Following the Land Boundary Agreement of 2015, enclaves were exchanged between the two countries, while the Tin Bigha Corridor remained as a leased access route. It is administered as part of Cooch Behar District, West Bengal.

The corridor is significant as a distinctive example of cross-border connectivity and enclave geography in the Cooch Behar region, reflecting the area's long-standing settlement pattern and the cultural ties of border communities. It is often visited to understand the local geography and the administrative history of the former enclaves.
