Mirik Lake Day Tour From Darjeeling

1. First thing - many reviews and opinion say that Mirik is not worth visiting. Our experience was may be one could omit Darjeeling, but Mirik is a must visit place. Great environment and relatively lesser commotion as compared to that in Darjeeling. The view of the tea gardens on the way from Darjeeling to Mirik is simply astounding. Very very beautiful. 2. The Mirik lake on the other hand is not as beutiful; but the place, the village is quite calm and peaceful. Hence, the visit is enjoyable. 3. Which cab service to book for in Darjeeling? Strongly suggest to contact Mr Vinodji (Contact: 9832077283) - who owns an Innova and drives himself. He is a 60 year old guy, very good natured and excellent networking skills. Has stayed all these years in the area (although originally from Nepal) and hence doubles up as a Guide also. Almost knows all the local people/police/shop etc in Darjeeling. Is honest and not greedy. A real gentleman. 4. The road from Darjeeling to Mirik is simply beautiful. One remarkable aspect is after a distance (in this 50 km stretch) one would see the road as the dividing line between India and Nepal. On one side of the road is India and on the other side is Nepal ! One would also encounter beautiful pine wood forest on the way and the famous Goodricke Tea Estate near Mirik.

It is a picturesque natural place that serves as a popular tourist destination. This is surrounded by lush green forests and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, making it a tranquil retreat for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
