a new destination is a
Himalayan Village Tourism spot. About 15 km. from Kalimpong at a height of
5,800 ft. is emerging as a new destination for nature-lovers who want to spend
few days in the lap of Himalaya. A truly village atmosphere with panoramic view
of mountains with the cheerful simple village people. Kanchenjunga range could
be seen clearly from dawn to dusk from here. From NJP station it will take 3
hours to reach Echeygaon by a car, in Kalimpong- Monsoong -Rangpo route.
Temperature in winter varies from 2 – 8 degree celsius. The Forest is
surrounded by Sailikharaka Forest. History says that a lady 1st came to this
forest who was the 3rd daughter of her parents but unknown to the present
villagers. Saili is the meaning of the 3rd daughter in local language.
Dalapchand to Damsung border, the forest is known as this name. Echey means the
top most of the village in Sherpa Language. So now the forest is known as Echey
Forest as it is the topmost point. The village is the property of Echey
Forest.Call @ 9830011715
