Mirik is a quiet, peaceful town with a large man-made lake where children and families can enjoy boating and horse riding. The momos - Tibetan steamed dumplings – in the area are famous. A large Buddhist monastery overlooks the town. I can help arrange a local taxi for your travel requirements. The apartment is in a remote location. Insects, cats, dogs, and even deer come visit the garden at times! It's best suited for physically fit people as you would have to walk down several steps to reach the house.
