This path has become a sleepy bungalow. Takda Tea Garden, Peshak Tea Garden, Lamahata Park and Jorapokhari at the head of the park. One kilometer up the park through the dense pine forest, two small reservoirs lie covered in a sheet of fog. This route can also be reached from Darjeeling by renting a car for 1500 rupees. Sometime the fog will cover everything, sometime the clouds will take shelter in the lap of the mountains and sometime the rain will wet the road in front of you and behind you. With wild smell. And if you go down to the Lamahata slum, you can go through the entire Takhda tea garden. Small hill villages, hangouts of young and old sitting in the backyard.

Medicinal balcony

The sweet words of small eyes and the naughty smile of flat lips will make you understand that they know you. Occasionally a group of baby boys and girls will embrace you with a handful of soft little bookie flowers in their hands and their little hearts with passion. So you must have lozenges in your jacket pocket to get them as friends. The other three sisters, Kanchan, Kabru and Pandim, will call you from afar with cataracts. You will remember whether you have seen them so close before.

So let’s get on this foggy path once the disaster is over. But without ignoring this disaster, every person in the village has been trying to disinfect every house for a long time now. I heard that this village is not a free village. So after vaccinating yourself and following all the precautions, come back once and for all to the sweet village of Lamahata.
