Places of interest [ What to do ]

The garden which surrounds the cottages in the eco resort is itself a place for pleasure. There are separate corners for meditation in the garden. Watch tower inside the resort is the best place to have the panoramic view of the entire valley marked by picturesque terrace farming. There are ample scopes for short treks. One short trail leads to a small beautiful lake on a hill top. There is another trail of around 8kms from Lamahatta to Takdah that goes through a maze of pine and dhupi trees. Many tourists also opt for the trek to Takdah Orchid Center. The Orchid Center is, however, open between February and April. Trek to Gari Danda - an old fort on top of a hill which is about 3km away is also an adventure. Strolling along the enormous tea plantations is another attraction of Lamahatta. Some of the best Darjeeling tea plantations are here. They are Glenburn Tea Estate, Rongli Rangliot Tea Estate and Takdha Tea Estate. The Lamahatta Village Monastery is also another place to visit.
