writes to Kolahal Travel Guide: Dates of visit: May 10, 2016 - May 12, 2016 I visited Lava with my parents and family. We stayed in the cottages of WBFDC, at Lava. The Dukpa 1 & 2 cottages were located in possibly one of the most immaculate place in the small hill-station Lava. We arrived at Lava by hiring a car from New Jalpaiguri station. It took us a little more than two and a half hours to reach Lava. The driver charged us Rs. 2200 for the one way trip. The cottages and bathrooms were clean, but lacked maintenance. Some of the earlier visitors have etched their names on the wooden walls, which looks odd. Suggest if these can be removed. The food was homely, and delicious – more because we were hungry after the day's walk. The cost seemed very reasonable too. We took lunch, dinner and breakfast from here both the days. The staff members at WBFDC were polite and courteous, but they did not have enough resources to help the visitors during power or water outages. We had a tough time both the nights as the power was put off after 10 pm, till 8 am - especially my parents had difficulty in going to the washrooms at night in pitch darkness. There was no emergency lamp or even candles provided. On Thursday, the day we were supposed to checkout, there was neither water nor power in the morning. Some of the other tourists were literally abusing the care takers – as it was difficult to get ready without power and water. Somehow the generator was switched on for an 1 hour window after 8 am and unfortunately water was gone by the time power was available. It was a pathetic situation on the third day of our stay. Other suggestions would be to immediately attend the repair work after the damage sustained by the buildings due to 2011 earthquake. Some structures need immediate repair. |

writes to Kolahal Travel Guide: Dates of visit: April 14, 2015 - April 18, 2015 I am very pleased to tell you that we had a wonderful time in Lava WBFDC. This was my second visit to the WBFDC resort. I had come earlier around 4 years back. The rooms and toilets were clean. Food was very good in the canteen.The staff members were well behaved and extremely helpful. From the WBFDC Resort to the entrance of Neora Valley it hardly takes around 10 minutes walking, but till the Neora Valley checkpost it should take around a whole day by walking or 2 hours by a vehicle. We paid Rs 3000 for one day as per the taxi union rate. They have a chart which list down the charges to various locations starting from Lava. We arrived at Lava from Latpanchor. I would like to make one suggestion. Most of the people who come to Lava are bird watchers and come mainly for Neora Valley. Since birders need to start early it was difficult to get breakfast. As the canteen opens at 7 A.M. we had to leave without breakfast. If this point is taken care of then the rest is heaven for wildlife lovers. |

Sohini Sen from Kolkata writes to Kolahal Travel Guide: Date of visit: March 14, 2014 We stayed at Lava Nature Resort for one night. We had taken 2 cottages...Hill Myna (1 & 2). For me, the experience in Lava was simply Wow!! A small village surrounded by pine forest all around made it look like a serene virgin beauty. And, our cottages added that extra cherry on the cake. The cottages were amidst pine forest with nobody around...a perfect silent environment to enjoy nature at its best. The cottages were good except a little problem with the room service as very few people stay around. The food was good. The electricity service is not constant as twice we faced loadshedding for quite some time. But it was not a big problem because the moon shone so brightly that we enjoyed the moonlight. The only suggestion is the people appointed for room service must keep matchboxes with them. So that they can provide it to us to light the candles. As we went in March, it was pretty cold and drizzled. But, overall we had a good experience and I would like to visit Lava again and stay in the WBFDC Lava Nature Resort. |

writes to Kolahal Travel Guide: Dates of visit: 24/11/2013 - 26/11/2013 My stay at WBFDC, Lava, was excellent. The resort was clean and people in charge there were friendly. The view of the mountain range from the resort was great. As I went to Lava on the last week of November, I was able to avoid excess tourist crowd. I would recommend Lava and WBFDC to my friends to enjoy the natural beauty of the place. The cottage we stayed was good (Gorkha 4) with 24 hours hot water supply. Only one thing which I think lacked during my stay at WBFDC was a television in the cottage. During evening the television would be a great mode of entertainment. |
