Jhandi is an offbeat location about two hour from Kalimpong and about two hours from Siliguri. Road from Kalimpong is rough, but the views are scenic. The eco huts offer the best location.
However, in india the Jhandi eco huts run on its view and it's extremely hardworking staff. but the place is clearly understaffed. Also, the management isn't doing much (read-spending money!!) for the upkeep of the place.
Three things to look forward to when you hit this offbeat destination :-
The wide panoramic view of the Teesta valley and the Shivalik range with full-faced Kanchenjenga lurking in the background, the peaceful sunset beyond the hills and the mesmerizing sunrise, which can even take the famous Tiger-hill views a run for it's fame.
Just go and enjoy this nature.
Jhandi is a picturesque valley located in the Dooars region of West Bengal around 09 kilometres from Lava on the way to Gorubathan with a panoramic view of the Mahananda River valley and Mt. Kanchenjungha. It is an area of extensive tea plantations and forests. For those interested in exploring a new untouched destination in North Bengal, Jhandi could be the ideal choice. It is rich in lush, tropical evergreen trees, Sal and Pine forests, which are home to some of India’s rarest Himalayan flora and fauna. With its excellent climate, rare flora and fauna and picture-perfect setting, Jhandi should definitely be on the travel plan of all tourists.
Places to see in Jhandi: The sight of flaky clouds rising up from the Dooars valley, or the sight of yellow fog gently floating along the valley during sunset definitely makes for excellent photography and a lasting memory for the guests. This is combined with excellent and majestic views of the Mt. Kanchenjunga as well as neighbouring mountain ranges and the snaking Mahananda River down the Dooars valley.
So if you planning to enjoy the nature in indai then just go there and share your feedback.
