Also known as the Sumendu Lake , the Mirik Lake is located in the heart of Mirik town at 26.8902, 88.1824 in Darjeeling District.
A pathway circles the whole lake which is 3.5 kilometres. Tall pine forest trees tower over the Lake from almost all sides. An 80-foot long foot-over bridge connects one side of the Lake to the other side and makes the experience of walking across the Lake simple enchanting. And the sight that truly makes this whole trip to Mirik up in the hills worthwhile is when the clouds kiss the Lake and bounce off causing a rippling effect as they drift over Mirik. It s just awesome!
Boating and fishing are offered by the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council Enterprises at this Lake. Many horses are available around the Lake for a short trot along the periphery.
Picnics around this picturesque Lake is another great way of chilling out next to the Lake with a book, music, or noisy kids and family.
Mirik Lake is guaranteed to make you click it. So must keep camera handy.
