Mirik

Mirik (1767mt) is on the way to
Siliguri to Darjeeling, a small hill resort. A 1.25 km long lake
known as Lake Samendu is surrounded by the small township. The
lake is nested by high forested hills and tea gardens. There is
a floating fountain in the middle of the lake with a long
arch-type little footbridge on the lake. Boating in the lake is
enthralling activity for the tourists around here. Mirik is also
famous for its tea estates, orange orchards and cardamom
cultivation.
