Latpanchar- the kingdom of birds

Latpanchar- The Kingdom of Birds

Elevation about 4500 ft. In the lepcha language 'Lat' means cane and 'Panchar' means jungle, with the inevitable palm of the hill-river, here the vast plains between the two hills are flat. The river Teesta has gone crooked at its own whim. Not far way is the shale-tick, pine cinchona forest has become dense and has taken the shape of a forest. Spent a night in a forest bungalow on a hill top here. nearby is the mahananda sanctuary. The free movement of birds.Rare species of red headed trogan, scarlet minivet, gray kunchat and rare species of rufuos naked hornbill will be seen here. And if the sky is clear from the sanseridara view point two km away the mind will want to run away with the serious call of kanchenjungha and other snow peaks. Latpanchar is another face of lifes luxury in two days of leisure.
