Nakadala , Satali Mandalpara etc. The neighbouring villages include Mendabari,
Nimti latabari etc. National Highway
stretches through the southern end of village Satali. River Baniya is flowing
through this village. Once there was a river Bashra by name. Unfortunately it
has turned a canal out of unpardonable apathy of the villagers. The oldest Hat
(rural market) named Bifei bazar (Thursday market in Sadri language) is located
in Paschim Satali.

people started living in a place
Now known as

NOL RAJAR GARH
The
chief attraction at Chilapata is the "Nalraja Garh". There exist the ruins of an old fort
in the dense forests at Chilapata on the east bank of the Torsa river a few miles south of the Indo-Bhutan border. It is popularly called “Nal Rajar
Garh”. The Britishers called it
“the Mendabari ruins”. After excavations at this place undertaken by the
archaeological department have shown that these brick constructions belonged to
the “Gupta Age”. It was identified to be one of the frontier fortifications of
the region then known as “ Pundrabardhan Bhukti”.
