Mirik Lake
Mirik Lake, also known as Sumendu Lake, is a picturesque, 1.25-kilometer-long lake situated in the town of Mirik in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. Positioned at about 1,495 meters above sea level, it is surrounded by lush green pine forests on one side and a garden called Savitri Pushpaudyan on the other, linked by an 80-meter-long arch footbridge known as Indreni Pull.
The lake is naturally fed by spring and rainwater and stays nearly full throughout the year, with depths ranging from 3 to 25 feet. A 3.5-kilometer walking road encircles the lake, offering stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, including Kangchenjunga. Visitors enjoy boating on quaint boats and pony rides around the lake, making it a calm and scenic retreat.
Nearby attractions include temples like Singha Devi and viewpoints such as Rameetya Dara, which provide panoramic vistas of the landscape. Mirik itself is known for its pleasant year-round climate, tea gardens, fruit orchards, and monasteries, making the lake a central highlight of this tranquil hill town popular among tourists seeking natural beauty and serenity.
