Panighata

Panighata is a small village on the bank of river Balason, just as it flows down onto the plains. The British tea planters left their sign throughout the Darjeeling hills and the accompanying Dooars area. Panighata is such a place. Its main attraction is an old British bunglow on a hill top and the accompanying deciduous forest. River balason is also an attractive picnic spot in its own right. But most of the picknickers visit Balason on the other bank, i.e. at Dudhia, leaving Panighata quite peaceful. There is a bridge built over the river Balason connecting Dudhia & Panighata. But sadly, due to some strange reason, its approach road is still incomplete. So its better to reach Panighata through Bagdogra.
Walk for 1 hour from Panighata Bazar to reach Top Bunglow. Stay within the bungalow(mattress required) or camp on the lawn. Very old bungalow. Out of order. No furniture. Renovation going on. Next morning go for a walk and refreshing bath at the Changa river. Climb the hill on the other side of the rivulet to reach Phudung. From Phudung, you can reach Mirik by walking.

Where to stay: Camping at the Top bungalow itself, or at the house of Kaley Tamang, who is a local villager.
