About this Destination

Located about 120 Kms from Siliguri, Lava and Lolegaon are merely 25 kms apart. These two pristine villages offer beautiful snow capped mountains and ancient Buddhist monasteries, among other enthralling sights. If you want to experience nature as nature intended, this is your perfect getaway. The diverse territory of West Bengal has countless places to offer, from the commotion of the metros to the tranquility of the sleepy towns. Two other unique, yet equally beautiful places are the villages of Lolegaon and Lava. Though a lot of hill stations are equally pretty and serene, yet Lolegaon and Lava will take you by surprise with their uncommercialised, wild and natural beauty.
