It is bounded on the north by the Himalaya ridge, on the east by Bootan, on the south by Morung, and on the west by Nepal, from which it is separated by a large tract little known to Europeans. The river Teesta is the principal river, and Damsong the chief town. It was conquered in 1769 by the rajah of Gorcah.
