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.
