We were here in May, 2022, it's a sightseeing point of Chatakpur & if you are in Chatakpur, this is a short trek from any of the Homestays. It passes through dense pine forest & it gets quite dense whilst you go inside the forest. It's advisable that someone who is planning to go takes guide with them. You may connect with your Homestay to arrange a guide at a Nominal charge.
It's beautiful foggy roads, with dense forest, its a wonderful experience.
This is a Sacred lake where you will not even find a single leaf in the lake though it's surrounded by trees, there is a large rock in the pond, overall it's wonderful experience

When the British were exploring for prospective areas to grow tea in India, the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region appeared to be one of the possible sites. Located at altitudes ranging from 600 to 2,000 metres (2,000 to 6,600 ft) and having an annual average rainfall of around 309 centimetres (122 in), it had the advantage of locational climate and soil conditions. There were experiments from the early 1800s, followed by commercial cultivation around 1853. By 1874, there were 113 gardens in Darjeeling district. The rapid growth of the tea industry from the earliest days inspired planters to try out tea cultivation in the adjoining Terai region and James White set up the first Terai plantation in 1862 at Champta, the first Dooars garden came up at Gazalduba and by 1876, the area had 13 plantations. The altitude in the tea-growing areas of the Dooars-Terai region range from 90 to 1,750 metres (300 to 5,740 ft) and receives an annual rainfall of around 350 centimetres (140 in). The tea grown in the Dooars-Terai region has the distinction of having "a bright, smooth and full-bodied liquor that’s a wee bit lighter than Assam tea".[The region produces CTC tea.
