The view of sparkling river stream meandering through the thick forest enclosing Ramsai is truly a glorious sight to be adorned after reaching Ramsai. Located at the periphery of Gorumara National Park sighting of wild animals is a frequent occurrence in Ramsai. Tourists who want to spend some quality time in the core of jungle can lodge in the Ramsai Rhino Camp where they can get the true essence of wilderness.

The temple holds lots of historical significance. The temple is dedicated to the Lord shiva as Baba Jatileswar.and attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists every year. Being around 1000 years old , the temple is truly epitome of Inida's medieval architectural distiction.
The temple was built using stones & clay bricks and sculpted with the figure of several Hindu Gods in the walls.
Jalpesh Temple was founded by Bisu Singh of Cooch Behar in A.D. 1524. His son, Maharaja Narayan, rebuilt the temple in A.D. 1563. Pran Narayan in turn rebuilt the temple in A.D. 1663.
The Jalpesh Temple is approximately 3 kilometres from away Mainaguri 26°31′32″N 88°52′1″E, and is dedicated to Lord Jalpeshwar (Siva). The temple was built in a style akin to Islamic architecture. Inside the temple, there is a Shivling called 'Anadi'. Mahashivaratri is the main festival celebrated in this temple, which is 126 feet high and 120 feet wide. Pilgrims come during Sravani Mela in July–August and during the fair of Jalpesh Mela in February–March to offer special puja to Siva. After worshipping, devotees, whose number reach approximately 1.2 million, collect water from River Teesta and walk barefoot 15 kilometres to the temple.
