After having visited the usual destinations like Darjeeling<\/a>, Gangtok (Sikkim<\/a>), Kalimpong<\/a>, Kurseong<\/a> and the likes and exploring some of them multiple times, I was keen on going someplace where I hadn’t been before and the presence of a known homestay in Mirik made me choose it as my last destination before heading back from the Bagdogra airport. Here is a collection of the highlights of my time spent in Mirik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made the journey from Kurseong to Mirik by shared sumo locally called as Syndicate in this region. In Mirik, I stayed at Haamro Ghar Homestay and I highly recommend them if you are planning to visit Mirik. Sumendu Lake is the highlight of this tiny town that is spread around the lake that also boasts of a monastery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
