Lava_2015. West Bengal Forest department

Trip to Lava, stayed at WBFD.
Surrounded by virgin pine forests and often hidden in mists and clouds at an altitude of 2,350 meters, this small village lays few away from Kalimpong on the old trade route to Bhutan. It has a beautiful monastery of Bhutanese origin and a Nature Interpretation Centre. Popular for nature exploration and bird watching, it is also the starting point for treks into the Neora National Park, which abounds with floral and faunal wealth.
It is the entry point to the Neora Valley National Park from Kalimpong. The route to Lava is scenic with the change in vegetation from tropical deciduous to the wet alpine trees of fir, pine and birch. The verdant forests are a popular spot for picnic, trekking and bird watching. Lava has now become a favorite tourist destination for people living on the coast of West Bengal and tourism has become the source of living for the inhabitants.
