Naxalbari (Bengali: Nôkśālbāṛi, ; also spelled Naksalbari) is a village in the Naxalbari Community Development Block in the Siliguri subdivision of Darjeeling district, in the Indian state of West Bengal. Located in the Terai region near the border with Nepal, it is known as the site of a 1967 peasant uprising that inspired the Naxalite movement in India. The surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, with tea estates, forests and small villages.
