Romantic Lamahatta

Declared as an eco-tourism park in the year 2012, this is a stretched forest of conifers, pine and fir trees nestled in Kalimpong-Darjeeling highway, West Bengal. Lamahatta stands for ‘huts of Buddhist monks’. The Buddhist monks are called ‘Lama’ and ‘Hatta’ means hut. Hence, it is a hermitage of the Buddhist monks. This little mountain village has a history of inhabitation of the Buddhist monks for their prayer and meditation before independence. Now it’s an abode of mixed communities Sherpas, Bhutias, Tamangs, Yolmos and Dukpas. Being Buddhism as their common religion, Lamahatta is filled with monasteries and vibrant prayer flags fluttering with the cool breeze all around giving it an aesthetic look. Cattle rearing and farming are the main livelihood of these residents. Off late tourism has been included as the mainstream of earning.
