MIRIK: Mirik a nest in the hills, is West Bengal’s one of the hill resort at an altitude of 1767 metres with its own special charms – 49 km. from Darjeeling and 52 km. from Siliguri. 1.25 km. long lake is fed by perennial streams. A floating fountain in the middle of the lake is a joy for ever and very often you may find the glory of Kanchenjunga reflected in the lake waters. A rich forest of thousands of Cryptomaria – Japanica trees clothe the slopes on the west. A 3.5 km. zig-zag footwalk takes you along the lake – a sleek foot bridge connects the garden on the east with the woods on the west. Alone or in company, you are sure to enjoy a boat-ride in the lake.
