Alafiia Lungchu Nature Stay

A recently discovered offbeat location in North Bengal is Lungchu Nature Stay. Lungchu is merely a weekend escape or a multi-day excursion. Lungchu is an uncharted area that allows you the opportunity to experience nature's splendour at its peak untainted by human activity. Lungchu is a quiet, serene village that offers a better haven of retreat for those hoping to avoid the crowds. ... At an elevation of 1,600 metres (5,250 feet), Lungchu is situated in the state of West Bengal around 120 kilometres from New Jalpaiguri and 76 kilometres from the closest railway station, New Mal Junction. The border between Sikkim and West Bengal is about 9 kilometres from Lungchu. Lungchu will only appeal to a specific kind of traveler—one who enjoys discovering new places and going to remote, unusual destinations. Lungchu will let you down if your notion of a vacation is to go shopping, dine at upscale restaurants, party, participate in a tonne of tourist activities, and sightsee all over the area. However, if you want to experience breathtaking views and marvel at incredible natural beauty, sit on your balcony and enjoy the silence, which will only be broken by the distant sound of Changey Waterfalls and birds chirping. Do nothing all day and see how the Sun's location affects how the landscape changes. Lungchu is renowned for its beautiful surroundings.

This lake is one of the only 2 lakes where one can see the reflection of Mount Kanchenjunga like a mirror. Neora Valley is very close to Mulkharka.
