Lolegaon

We hired a car after drive of couple of hour from Kalimpong we were in Lolegoan.Very small village i think only resorts and people working in that are only living there.

I was confused by cloud with smoke.It was so wonderful scene cloud covering me in.Not much to see,enjoy the calmness of nature.Beware no ATM or bank is there.So have sufficient cash with you.

From Net:-Lolegaon is, a small Lepcha village with a population of about 5000, situated in an extreme end of a Himalayan Ridge. It is in the middle of the heritage pine forest with excellent views of the Himalayan range. It is a perfect tourist spot for all. Lolegaon from Kalimpong situated at an altitude of nearly 1675 meters. Sunrise and sunset are worth watching from Jhandi Dhara.
