Lava, Kolakham and Loleygaon form one of the most peaceful mountain regions of North Bengal. The forests here are deep, the villages are small, and the pace of a day is set by light and weather.
This trek is built around that pace: forest trails between villages, long unhurried walks, bird watching, and time to notice the smaller details of a Himalayan forest.
