Mirik, Mountain resort town in Darjeeling district, India
Sumendu Lake stretches through the center of Mirik, bordered by pine forests and gardens connected by the Rainbow Bridge footpath.
The area transformed from British officers' polo grounds and marshland into a tourist destination after West Bengal tourism development initiatives in 1969.
Bokar Monastery, Singha Devi Temple, and multiple Hindu shrines around the lake represent the religious diversity of local communities.
Hotels concentrate in Krishnanagar area near Sumendu Lake, with transport connections to Siliguri and Darjeeling through regular bus and taxi services.
Tea estates, orange orchards, and cardamom plantations surround the town at 1,495 meters elevation, offering agricultural tours and nature walks.
