Lava is a very beautiful little Hamlet in the Eastern Himalaya range of West Bengal. It's very near to Kalimpong, We went there in the month of February this year. We stay there at west Bengal Forest Department cottage for three nights we went there for bird watching. The WBFDC cottages are very nice excellent location and the room was also very nice clean specious and well furnished. There is a small canteen also the food option was limited but the taste of the food was awesome. Lava is famous for its excellent view of mount Kanchenjunga range also.
We explored Lava little differently and we spotted some Birds very near to the our cottages like sunbird Accentors and Yuhina and many more birds. There is a small monastery also. We went there at evening The Monster was very near to our cottages roughly half an hour walk we enjoyed the calm and quite at surrounding at the monastery. Next morning we went to Neora Valley National Park for Bird Watching.
Over all our trip was excellent and fully satisfied.
