Nestled at an altitude of 9,840 feet in East Sikkim, Lava is a serene town surrounded by forests, vibrant flowers, and breathtaking natural beauty. Known as the only place in West Bengal that experiences snowfall throughout winter, it’s an ideal destination for nature lovers, bird watchers, casual trekkers, and those seeking respite from the summer heat and city chaos. The winter snowfall transforms the town into a stunning landscape, with pine, fir, and birch trees adding to its charm. While winter is a magical time to visit, the mist and fog might obscure views of Mount Kanchenjunga. Summer, on the other hand, offers a mesmerizing experience of its own.
Chayatal, perched at 6,000 ft in West Sikkim, is a serene escape just 32 km from the tourist…
Kopchey, a charming hamlet in East Sikkim’s Rongli Subdivision, rests at around 5,400 feet…
