Traveler's Reviews

North Bengal Tour Package

Devindra Pal

Thanks to NatureWings for providing a magnificent North Bengal Tour Package for my family. 2 Nights Gangtok, 2 Nights Darjeeling and 1 Night at Kalimpong during 1 march to 6 March 20. The best thing of the arrangement was that they have provided the superior accommodation and vehicle. At every moment during tour their representative was in touch with us for the every help and guidance. What they have offered during booking, they were committed to that and arranged nicely keeping the view of rain and weather. The drivers were polite and punctual of time. Thanks for Inderjeet and Arpan to customize the requirements within my budget. I recommend that whenever anyone plan for a North East Package Tour , then have a word with NatureWings. They have expertise in customising the package within budget and beyond expectations.

North Bengal Tour

Rajkumar Samanta

Hailing from humid Kolkata, Sikkim, and Darjeeling occupies a special place inside us apart from being the nearest hill station. NatureWings was recommended to me by my brother in law who went to the Silk Route with them. I booked my trip for December 2019, and Mr. Akash from NatureWings actively took my call and provided me with a personalized itinerary. Their service was swift and even allowed me to make some changes on the trip. Our driver Mr. Tamang was a friendly person who treated and guided us very well, and his car was comfortable and well maintained. We got good view rooms, and the food served at both the places was fresh and hot. My trip went flawlessly, and thanks to the NatureWings team for their effort to make our trip a memorable one.

Silk Route Tour

Ankita Saha

Being a solo woman traveler, it is not easy to find a trusted travel agency, and as I had previously gone for a Bhutan Package Tour with NatureWings so thought of visiting the Silk route with them. NatureWings Silk Route specialist Mr. Akash provided me with an excellent budget-friendly itinerary covering the best sightseeing places and also allowed me to make the changes I urged. All my queries were answered patiently by him, and as I was traveling alone, so he provided me a good driver who guided me well and followed my custom itinerary. The wooden cottages booked for me in the green valley of Kolakham was beautiful, and the view from my room was like a dream come true, as I saw Mt. Kanchenjunga standing head up high from my balcony with floating clouds passing by. Mr. Indrajeet booked good, safe rooms near to the reception and made sure to make comfort calls every day. Kolakham and Charkhole have a charm of its own, smiling people, far from the crowded cities, in the lap of untouched nature with picturesque views of the mountains that we could only dream. I would love to explore other destinations with NatureWings and recommend others also.

Chota Mangwa Tour

Arvind Kapadia

We visited for Chota Mangwa Tour in the first week of October last year. It is an Eco-friendly village with friendly and down-to-earth people to welcome you. You can get wonderful views of magnificent Kanchenjunga on a clear sunny day. The serenity and tranquility of this place overwhelmed us. The scenic beauty and the tranquility of the place and the whistling of the birds will surely give you a heavenly feeling... One of the best places we have ever explored...!!!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Tinchuley with the warm hospitality of the home stay owners and the good service from our travel agent NatureWings.

Tinchuley Chatkatpur Tour

Rudranil Baidya

We visited Tinchuley along with Chatkatpur destinations mentioned in our itinerary. After visiting this place, it overwhelmed us with replenishing views of sweeping valleys and majestic mountains jutting out against the sky, the arresting contours of Kanchenjunga, the rushing Rangeet River that slithers below. Overall, it is a journey worth taking.

Gangtok Tour

Pankaj Nath

It was a amazing trip. I liked the way you are planning. Hotels and drivers were very good. But there was only one thing which is not good and the thing is the wastage of food at the hotel in gangtok. They should ask their customers for their requirement of food. Otherwise it was a great experience with NatureWings. Thank you.

Lava Lolegaon Rishop Pedong diaries

Lava - The Land of cloud

It was a joy getting drenched in the beauty of the snow-capped peaks of the Nathula range, as we stood in the private view point of our cottages. Dwarfed by the tall pine trees of the forest, the entire place was a treat to savour. Yes, we had just arrived in Lava, a small sleepy village in the Kalimpong district of West Bengal, and our home for the next 3 days. In this travel diary, I will take you through different parts of Kalimpong district like Lava , Lolegaon , Rishop , Pedong and Reshikhola (Rishikhola).

Our itinerary:

Let me first tell you our entire tour plan, so that it is easy as you move along:

  • 1st Day : Reach New Mal Junction and transfer to Lava. Local sightseeing in Lava.
  • 2nd Day : Visit Rishop (Rishyap) in the morning, Changey Falls in the afternoon.
  • 3rd Day : Visit Reshikhola (Rishikhola) and Pedong.
  • 4th Day : Transfer to Kalimpong via Lolegaon.
  • 5th Day : Kalimpong Local sightseeing and Deolo.
  • 6th Day : Visit Triveni Sangam, enroute to NJP station for return journey to Kolkata.

Reaching Lava via New Mal Junction (NMZ)

On the evening of Saptami of the Durga Puja in October 2019, we boarded the Kanchankanya Express from Sealdah for our journey to the New Mal Junction (NMZ). It was raining for the last few days, and we were sceptical about the weather during our trip.

Lava is commonly reached by travellers from New Jalpaiguri (NJP) station due to better availability of trains from Kolkata. But, we chose New Mal Junction (NMZ) due a couple of reasons:

  • The route after you leave NJP/ Siliguri town is scenic. Here, the train travels through a dense forest and passes several tunnels and the iconic Teesta Rail Bridge. This train route also happens to be an elephant corridor, and if luck favours, you can sight a few jumbos too.
  • From NMZ, the distance of Lava is around 55 KMs and it takes around 2 hours. That is almost half the distance compared to that from NJP. which means a lesser pinch in the pocket too.

Our train was late by 1.5 hours and we reached NMZ around 11 AM. We had booked a car in advance, and our driver for the journey, Babu, was waiting for us outside the station. I had read that the road to Lava via Gorubathan is scenic at every turn, and I had kept my photo gears ready. But as soon as we left the plain land and started moving uphill, it started raining too heavily. We were a bit scared but Babu manoeuvred the car well. By the time we reached Lava, the rain had stopped.

Day 1 : Lava sightseeing

In Lava, we had our booking in the WBFDC (West Bengal Forest Department Corporation). Our cottage (Gorkha 4) and few surrounding ones are nestled inside a Pine forest, and are around 60 steps down from the Reception or the motorable road.

Cottages in Lava inside Pine forest

Let me now tell you a few words about the topography of Lava. At the centre of Lava are prominent landmarks like the Office of Lava Car Syndicate, the Bus stand, the Bishnu Temple and the Hotel Orchid. The road downhill from here takes you to the Lava Monastery . This road has an array of small homestays and lodges that would suit the pocket of every traveller. Uphill from the centre is the way to few more lodges and the WBFDC cottages.

Lava village as seen from the monastery

After lunch, we took a small nap to shrug off the tiredness of the train journey. Then we started off for the Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery , popularly known as the Lava Monastery . It was a short walk of around 10 minutes. Inside the main gate, as you walk towards the main monastery, you would get amazing views of the surrounding villages, the forest and the Nathula Range .

The brick-coloured monastery itself is very scenic and will fill your mind with peace. There is a separate hostel for monks and they would be happy to help you with any information that you need.

Lava Monastery

On our way back, we visited the Nature Interpretation Center of Neora Valley National Park (closed every Thursday). It is a beautiful place for nature lovers.

By this time, it was getting dark and temperature started dropping. We had some hot momos and thupka to energize ourselves and then came back to our cottage.

Day 2 morning: Rishop

We had booked our car from the Syndicate office, and our driver reported at 9 AM.

The narrow road to Rishop was too much bumpy and full of boulders. It seemed to us like a roller-coaster ride, and took us 30 minutes to cover a distance of just 5 Kilometers. Later we came to know that there is a better road via 6 th Mile. That route is longer and will cost you a bit more. There is also a walking trail from Lava to Rishop, and trekking enthusiasts can enjoy the scenic beauty on the way.

Rishop (Rishyap) is a small settlement of the Lepchas and is known for its breath-taking view of the Kanchenjungha range. It is a laid back place. Here you can relax for a couple of days in the middle of nature in one of the numerous hotels and resorts. But, being at a relatively remote place, the cost of lodging and food is comparatively higher than that of Lava. Also, there is a scarcity of running water in all the resorts and you might not get hot water whenever you need.

We got down from our car at the motor stand and started walking along the tiny village roads bordered by pine, birch, fir, rhododendron trees. Unfortunately, it was cloudy for the last couple of days here, and we couldn’t get a clear view of the Kanchenjungha . If you are staying in Rishop, make it a point to trek to the Tiffindara View Point for watching the sunrise or the sunset.

In the midst of nature in Rishop

We spent an hour in Rishop and then came back to our cottage in Lava for our lunch break.

Day 2 afternoon: Changey Falls

After lunch, we started for Changey Falls . On the way, we passed the village of Kolakham , a budding tourist destination. It took us around 1 hour from Lava to reach the entry point of the Changey Falls parking. From here, you need to walk down a trail for around 20 minutes.

As we started downwards, it started raining all of a sudden. We ran and took shelter under a shade. After the rain stopped, we continued our trek towards the falls. But the path, which has both slopes and stairs, became very slippery and was not very comfortable to walk.

Just before you reach the falls, there is a bifurcation. The path to the left takes you to the falls and the right one to a view point. The waterfall itself is very beautiful, with water gushing from high above and flowing down the forest below. But please mind your steps near the falls. There is no railing on the small bridge over the falls – if you slip, you would fall straight into the gushing stream.

Changey Falls

Day 3 morning: Reshikhola

Today happened to be the Dashami of the Durga Puja festival. That marked the beginning of the Tika for the Nepali/ Lepcha community, which is their biggest festival. Particularly on this day, everyone from the community take part in festivities. This in turn results in unavailability of vehicles. Initially, I planned to travel to Lolegaon on this day and stay there for the night. But then I tweaked the plan and decided to stay for another day in Lava, in case we don’t get a vehicle to travel.

As an alternate plan, I had thought of making a day trip to Reshikhola and Pedong if we manage to get a car. Even the Car Syndicate couldn’t commit me a car when we contacted them the day before.

Luckily for us, the Syndicate confirmed the availability of the vehicle in the morning. We started around 9.30 and reached Reshikhola ( Pedong is on the way) in around 2 hours.

Reshikhola or Rishikhola derives its name from the Reshi River ( Khola means a small stream in Nepali). The river separates the states of West Bengal and Sikkim. Our car didn’t have the necessary documents to cross the Bengal border. So we alighted just before the border check-post and walked across the river bridge.

We strolled on the road along the river for around 10 minutes and reached a point where there is a small path to reach near the river.

The river bank, with a backdrop of lush green forest and marked with big boulders and long white kash flowers, is itself a place to cherish. You can cross the river by a small bamboo foot bridge. On the other side, there is a resort – Rishi River Cottage .

Reshikhola - On the banks of the Reshi River

Day 3 afternoon: Pedong

After spending an hour in Reshikhola, we started our journey back. We stopped at Pedong for lunch. After getting down at the car parking area, we started walking towards the main market. We were dead hungry and searched for restaurants. To our astonishment, we found that all the eateries here are owned by the Nepali community and they are closed due to the Tika festival. The hotel-cum-restaurants were also serving their in-house guests only. At last we got a grocery shop and sweet shop and had some cakes and sweets for lunch.

There is not much to see in Pedong. The Sacred Heart Church and an adjoining school are just opposite to the parking area. There is also an old Bhutanese monastery – the Sangchen Dorjee Gompa . But our driver informed that the road leading to the monastery is in a very bad state. So we couldn’t visit the place.

Pedong

Tuesday is the Haat (local village market) day in Lava, where people from adjoining villages come to buy and sell. Unfortunately again for us, due to the Tika festival, there was no Haat today.

Day 4 : Lolegaon and transfer to Kalimpong

We started around 10 AM, and after travelling for around 40 minutes we halted at the Gumba Dara monastery . It was very peaceful inside the monastery, and you can spend some time to soothe your nerves. Inside the complex is an open-air golden Buddha statue.

Gumba Dara monastery

The travel from Gumba Dara monastery to Lolegaon was another roller-coaster ride that lasted for around 1 hour and 15 minutes. Our driver navigated the car mostly in 1 st gear through non-existent village roads, which even the Google Maps couldn’t locate. It seems the Google-displayed route is a longer one, which all the drivers avoid.

On the way we stopped at a couple of view points, where got nice views of the mountains and valley below.

Surrounded by dhupi and cypress forests, Lolegaon is a must visit place if you are in this part of Bengal. Away from the maddening crowd, you can spend a day or two getting absorbed in the tranquillity and the whispering of the towering tall trees.

The central place of Lolegaon is the Market/ Motor stand area. It has a few small shops which serve fast food. We were very hungry and ordered Maggi and Thupka.

Opposite to the Motor stand is the green Eco Park , which has an open-air golden Buddha statue. The small road that goes down behind the Motor stand has quite a few small resorts and homestays. The road ahead bifurcates – the one on the left goes towards the famous Hanging Bridge or Canopy Walk and the other one towards the WBFDC Cottages/ VIP Bungalow view point .

If you are staying overnight in Lolegaon, you can trek to the Jhandi Dara Viewpoint at dawn and enjoy the golden glows of the morning Sun.

Lolegaon , like Lava, is famous for leeches. These are mostly found in the forest area that leads to Hanging Bridge . The Canopy Walk is a hanging wooden bridge that passes through the dense jungle. I had read before that, it is an amazing experience to walk by the tall trees. It is a one-way walk. After reaching the end, you need to walk back below the bridge. Unfortunately for us, the bridge had snapped during the last rainy season. The authorities seemed to be least bothered to repair it.

Hanging Bridge - Canopy Walk

Next we went towards the VIP Bungalow view point . Although, only visitors with proper reservation are allowed within the cottage complex, the security guard was kind enough to let us in. The area is full of greenery and also has a nice view of the valley below from one of the viewpoints.

After this, we started our journey towards Kalimpong. On the way, we crossed the The Relli-Mukti Bridge across the meandering Relli River . We stopped our car just before the bridge and crossed it over foot.

Relli-Mukti Bridge

The Kalimpong town was very much congested with a lot of traffic jam, and we finally reached the Morgan House around 4.30 PM.

Some useful information about Lava :

About wbfdc cottages in lava:.

First of all, coming to the topography, WBFDC Lava consists of 2 parts:

  • The motorable upper section around the Reception, consisting the cottages Hill Myna 1, 2, 3 and Neora 1, 2, 3, 4 (Neora cottages were not inaugurated as of Oct 2019) and the Rachela canteen . These cottages are ideal for the elderly and for persons having problem with their lower limbs.
  • Ten cottages ( Gorkha 1, 2, 3, 4, Dupka 1, 2, 3 and Quercus 1, 2, 3), a conference hall and the Nathula canteen. You have to climb down around 60 steep steps from the Reception area to reach these cottages. These cottages nestled inside the Pine forest.

Few points and my review of the WBFDC Cottages:

  • This is undoubtedly the best place to stay in Lava if you want to stay amidst the nature.
  • The cottages are simple, but lack proper maintenance. So, do not have a high expectation.
  • The Hill Myna 1-3 and Neora 1-4 are relatively new in terms of construction, and might be more comfortable for staying.
  • Beware of leeches and big spiders in and around the cottages, mainly the ones inside the Pine forest.
  • The canteens serve simple food, and there is not much variety. As the food is made-to-order, and you have to order much ahead of time.
  • Gorkha 3, 4 and Dupka 3 are the best cottages in terms of proximity from the canteen and view from the room.
  • Dupka 1, 2 are at a bit isolated place and should be avoided.
  • Quercus 1-3 are relatively smaller in size.
  • You can book the rooms online at: https://wbfdc.net/

How to travel to Lava :

  • As I have already mentioned, we travelled to Lava from the New Mal Junction rail station by a car. I booked the car of Babu Biswas (Mobile: +91-76795-87743). He is soft-spoken and well behaved person, and drives a Wagon-R. He charged us Rs. 1900 for the journey.
  • You can also get down from the train from New Jalpaiguri (NJP) station or the Bagdogra airport and travel by road.
  • From NJP/ Siliguri, you can get a shared Jeep to Kalimpong, and from there you can hire a car for Lava.
  • There are 2 public buses that ply between Lava and Siliguri. The one that travels via Gorubathan leaves Lava in the morning at 7 AM, and the one that travels via Kalimpong leaves at 8 AM.
  • I would suggest that you do not make any travel plan to the Darjeeling/ Kalimpong districts on the day of the Tika Festival due to non-availability of cars.

Directions from Lava

About Car Rental in Lava :

  • You need to contact the local Car Syndicate in Lava to reserve your vehicle by making a token advance.
  • Due to the bad road condition, all the vehicles are 4 or All Wheel Drive (4WD/ AWD) ones.
  • There are 2 types of cars that the Syndicate provides – 6 seater and 10 seater. Accordingly, the cost will vary.
  • The cost of hiring a car is pretty high here, and the rate is fixed. There is no scope of any bargain, be it a peak tourist season or a lean one.
  • The above facts about Lava Car Syndicate are applicable to other Syndicates in the region, like that of Lolegaon, Rishop, Kolakham etc. In fact, the availability of cars is the best at the Lava Syndicate.

For your reference, I am attaching the Rate chart of the Lava syndicate here (as of October 2019), which has their contact details also.

Neora Valley National Park is a place for a number of wild animals.

Lolegaon or Loleygaon is a small village in the Kalimpong district. It used to be a tranquil village with great views of the Kanchenjunga. During the early 1990s, the forest department with the help of some voluntary organizations started promoting the village as an eco-tourism destination. The founders of nature beyond were also part of the initiative. By late '90s Lolegaon came up to become one of the oft-visited tourist destinations of the Kalimpong Hills. Loleygaon is a quiet and peaceful hamlet located at an altitude of 5,520ft and surrounded by towering dhupi and cypress forests. Several locations in the village offer sweeping views of Kanchenjunga range. You can also see a range of orchids and other flowering plantations here. It's also a great place for bird watchers.

Best Time To Visit Lava & Lolegaon

Lava Lolegaon best time to visit at all the months except monsoon if you are planning to go for a holiday with a checklist then summer months from March to May are the best season to go, but if you really want to get away from your hectic life then you might even want to go in winters. The weather is chilled and you may pretty much just walk around your hotel for those days, do experience the most beautiful and snowy winter in all of the West Bengal. If you get up early in the morning to get the view of the sunrise then you will stay there forever during this time period. December to February is the pleasant weather and comfortable at almost all through the year although you will certainly feel the chilling winter. Monsoon the landscapes and the forests become lush green which is a sight by itself.

Lava offers some nice walks for nature lovers. You can walk towards the Neora Valley National Park , this area has good vegetation. If you want to go for a serious jungle trek, the Neora valley trek also originates in this area, but you would need to take permission from the forest department before entering the core area of the forest. You may also go for a hike towards Maneydara village which is about 5 km walk from the town. Another route takes you to Rishyap / Rishop which is about 12 km by car, but the trekking distance is about 5 km. Common tourist places around Lava include Ratnarishi Gumpha or the Lava Monastery , this used to be a small quaint monastery but has been reconstructed in recent years and now is a large compound with an institute of Buddhist learning next to it. The official name of the monastery is Kagyu Thenkchen Ling Monastery and the institute is named as T he Ringpe Dorje Institute . Within walking distance from town is the Nature Interpretation Center of Lava forest department. Inside you can have a glimpse of the flora and fauna found in the area. The center is relatively well maintained and well stocked. Chhangey falls visit is also a popular tourist activity here. The falls is about 10 km north of Lava near Kolakham area, at the time of writing this, the road to the area was in poor condition and only some SUV could go there. Please talk to nature beyond travel consultants for an update about the condition of this road. Treks to the Neora valley starts from Lava. Apart from long treks across the valley, small treks are also possible in the region. Common treks include a trek to Tiffin Dara, Aluabari etc .

The primary attraction of Lolegaon lies in its serene and tranquil environment. Although the place has become a common tourist destination now, it is still not commercialized by a large influx of tourists. You can still get to walk in the nearby forests without jostling with other tourists. The place offers a panoramic view of the Kanchenjunga range. On a clear day, a large part of the snow-capped mountain is visible. At the center of the village, there is a flat land opposite to the Eco-Park , where there are few small tea stalls and shops. This is the only bazaar area where you can buy small kinds of stuff or eat. On a day trip, you may carry your packed lunch. At a short distance from here is the most popular attraction - The Canopy Walk . There is a 180-meters long hanging wooden tree-top bridge that goes through the dense jungle . The bridge slowly rises in height and you will find yourself walking through the treetops amidst dense forest. At the start, there are few stairs to climb to the bridge and then you start the fairly long walk at a height and through the jungle. Visit the VIP Bungalow View Point . It's a manicured lawn area below the VIP bungalow which has nice viewing galleries. Unfortunately, they are not well maintained, but you still get excellent views of Kanchenjunga snow peaks from here. Nearby hilltop Jhandi Dara offers beautiful views at sunrise . The place is about 4/5 kilometres from Lolegaon and an early morning visit to Jhanidi Dara can offer you spectacular views on a clear day.

The place isn't equipped to receive direct flights. The nearest Airport is the Bagdogra Airport , which is situated outside the town of Siliguri. Once off the plane, you can easily hire a cab and get to Lolegaon post a 4 hour drive. Travelling by rail is another feasible option. The New Jalpaiguri Station (NJP) is the closest to Lolegaon. The station is well connected to places such as Kolkata, New Delhi, Chenna and Mumbai. From here as well, you will have to hire a cab. Driving down to Lolegaon is not very difficult. If you are planning to drive from nearby regions, then the ride is smooth. However, if you intend to take the car as an alternate to the train, then it's not a very feasible option. The nearest town is Kalimpong, about 55 km away. Siliguri is about 4 hrs drive covering 124 km to Lolegaon. Buses are also available from nearby places and sometimes, even from Kolkata.
