Lamahatta Eco Park

Lamahatta Eco Park is a landscaped eco-tourism park located in Lamahatta village in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, about 23 km from Darjeeling town on the Darjeeling-Kalimpong road. Developed by the West Bengal government, the park is set amid pine and dhupi forests at around 1,700 metres altitude. It is notable for manicured gardens, forested trails, watchtowers with Himalayan views, and a sacred hilltop lake adorned with prayer flags.

Visitors can expect a well-maintained park set on a forested hillside with manicured flower gardens, pine and dhupi tree groves, paved pathways and wooden watchtowers offering views of the surrounding hills and Kanchenjunga on clear days. A steep uphill trail through the forest leads to a small sacred lake at the top, decorated with colorful prayer flags. The environment is quiet and natural, suitable for leisurely walks, photography and nature observation.

Developed in 2012 by the Government of West Bengal as an eco-tourism initiative to promote sustainable tourism and generate local employment while conserving the natural forest environment of Lamahatta

The hilltop lake within the park is considered sacred by the local community and is adorned with Buddhist prayer flags, reflecting the cultural traditions of the Darjeeling hills
