A Nature’s unknown treasure sans laud

SNS, Kurseong 27 October: Darjeeling Hills is a tourism place and it is famous worldwide for its natural beauty. However, there are several unexplored natural spots in the hills, which are, yet to be developed and highlighted by the concerned authorities.
Mulkharka Phusray Natural Lake is one of the attractive and unexplored lakes in the Hills but due to lack of popularity, the lake is presently neglected. It is situated around 65km from Kalimpong town at Pithamachi Busty , (around 7000 feet above sea level ) under Algarah Block II in the Kalimpong sub division. The length of the lake is about 150 metres.
A villager said that for the interest of the local people, the concerned authorities should take immediate measures to preserve the lake as well as to find it a place in the tourism map. He also said that so far, no proper steps have been taken by the concerned authorities to upgrade and highlight the lake.
Hence, the authorities should announce it as a tourist spot with the aid of the tourism department.
He also informed that presently there is no proper road connectivity to the place which is why such a beautiful spot remains neglected. Still, a few tourists visit the place occasionally whenever it gets media coverage. However even the Hill people and most of the tourist visiting Darjeeling are still unaware about the lake due to lack of popularity of the lake.
More importantly, it is said that the birds nesting around the lake pick up all the leaves that fall in the lake and keep it clean. Some locals believe that some divine power works in the lake.
They also believe that if any one tries to pollute the water of the river they may face adverse consequesnces. However other opine that the birds actually pick up the leaves to eat up the tiny worms that have remained floating on the leaf.
Whatever may be the fact the lake can be a good tourist attraction if developed properly. Sources said that the GTA officials have now been taking initiatives todevelop and explore this divine lake but it is a matter of speculation when it will opened to the public and the tourist in general.
