Bara Mangwa
Kalimpong, West Bengal, India
Overview: Bara Mangwa is a quaint village situated on a mountain ridge that overlooks the confluence of the Teesta and Rangeet Rivers. It is famous for its extensive orange orchards that turn the hillsides orange during the winter months. The village is an eco-tourism destination where visitors can experience authentic rural Himalayan life. The terraced farms produce organic vegetables, and the air is filled with the scent of citrus. It is a peaceful retreat far from the crowded tourist spots of Darjeeling. The village offers stunning views of the Kalimpong hills and the snow-capped peaks of Sikkim. Guests staying here can participate in farming activities or simply walk through the winding village paths. The hospitality of the local community is a highlight, with most accommodations being family-run homestays. It is also a strategic location for those interested in river rafting, as the Teesta is just a short drive away. The biodiversity here is rich, with many species of butterflies and birds frequently spotted.
