 A journey of 99km via
Kalimpong or 115km via Gorubathan from Siliguri
will take you to Lava, one of the most picturesque spot in the
Darjeeling Himalayas. A serene misty hamlet in the Kalimpong sub division,
Lava has been a recent addition in the tourism map of North Bengal and is getting
immense popularity among the travellers looking for off beat destinations.
Situated at an altitude of 2100m, Lava presents a landscape with ultimate splendour
of nature that can never be captured by word. The conifer forests under the worm
glow of sun with colourful birds flying and singing everywhere the whole surrounding
will enthrall you to a new dimension.
 The view of the silvery peaks
of Greater Himalayan snow ranges or the smiling children of local ethnic villages,
soaked in simplicity and hospitality, will give you a sense of total fulfilment.
Visit the Lava Monastery and Neora valley Interpretation center, which offers the
glimpse of the nature's wealth.
Lava is the gateway of Neora Valley National Park, a virgin, unexplored terrain
