Lamahatta Eco Park
Lamahatta
An eco park on the way to Kalimpong, where pine and cedar forest is hung with prayer flags. A climb to the mountain lake offers views of snow peaks.
Lamahatta lies about 23 km east of Darjeeling, on the mountain road to Kalimpong. The name means the dwelling of lamas. Developed as an eco park since 2012, it features tall cedar forests with colorful prayer flags strung between the trees. A forest trail climbs for about 30 to 45 minutes to a sacred lake on the summit, where you can see Kanchenjunga on clear days. The village has many family-run guesthouses, which suit travelers who want to avoid the crowds of the city. Admission is cheap, and a hired car takes about an hour. You can visit it on the same day as Kalimpong.
