Samsing
সামসিং
A tea-garden village at the end of the foothills, where terraced tea rows, the Murti valley and distant mountains come together. Good for birdwatching and butterfly spotting.
Samsing sits on a hillside at about 900 metres, the last village before the plains give way to the hills. It is surrounded by large tea gardens, and from here you can look over the Murti River valley and the mountains of Bhutan. Near the village, Lokhi Island is a bend in the Murti River strewn with boulders, good for camping and paddling. The area is rich in birds and butterflies, making it a favourite for photographers. It is also the gateway to Suntalekhola and Neora Valley. It is about 35 km from Lataguri, and can be visited as a day trip or you can stay a night in a tea-garden homestay.
