This lesser known, beautiful hamlet of Darjeeling district is just 50 km drive from Siliguri and is 15 km downhill drive from Mirik. Bungkulung is characterized by rising mountains, hilly terrains, woodlands, orange orchards, pineapple garden, along with paddy fields.
Bungkulung is slowly gaining its popularity as a bird lover’s paradise though the number of actual species found here is still in unknown as the residents of the village are still unaware of their rich avifaunal treasure. Only one homestay run by Tara Rai and Kalpana Rai caters for basic foods and accommodation to the visitors.
