Bokar Monastery

The seat of the Venerable Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, the monastery belongs to the Kagyud order.

A very elusive and unexplored place, Bunkulung is literally the agricultural hub of Mirik. The place cannot be accessed on foot. You will need to hire a cab, but a few minutes in the car and you will see yourself in the most authentic hillside village there is. Located on the edge of the valley, with hills looming in every direction. The place is full of farm lands, fisheries and empty spans of land that will mesmerize you. The place also has hundreds of stories from its inception to its present day inhabitation. Read More

Spending an hour or two here will make the rest of your day. Read More

Another unique and offbeat offering of Mirik are the numerous plantations spread across the cities. The orange orchids are one of the most beautiful plantations you will ever see. And if you are lucky to see them in full bloom, the entire place looks lit up with countless orange bulbs.

A very interesting market, about 15 km away from Mirik is the Pashupati Nagar Market. The market is at the Indo Nepalese border and half of it lies in the neighboring country. The beautiful market has very strict restrictions due to the cross country trade but you can always buy cloth, perfumes, handicrafts an much more. When in the market, be very careful of the strict checks at the Indo Nepalese check posts.

Like every hill station, Mirik too has a beautiful viewpoint for you to spend at dawn or dusk. The stunning view with Kanchenjunga on the backdrop and the valley at the bottom, will take you aback.

The most prominent place in Mirik, The Sumendu Lake is beautiful, calm and yet invigorating. The lake also has an 80 foot bridge running over it for people who don't wish to walk around it. Boating in the lake and a pony ride on the lakeside are exhilarating experiences. Also, the strategic advantage of the lake is that it is nearly walking distance to every place in the town.
