Because Loleygaon is so close (just a few kilometres), visitors should go to Jhandi Dara, Loleygaon’s Hanging Bridge, and take the unique ‘Canopy Walk’ through the century-old mossy Oak and Cypress at Loleygaon. Canopy Walk is located about a kilometre from the Loleygaon bus stop, in the centre of a forest full of fir, oak, birch, and cypress trees, with interconnected footbridges. The 180-meter-long hanging bridges from one tree to another allow visitors to see the grandeur of the forest from a different perspective. These bridges are constantly swinging, therefore those who suffer from vertigo should exercise caution.
Lava, Kolakham, Rishyap, and other local attractions are all worth visiting. On a day journey, tourists can see Lava Monastery, Changey Falls, and Kalimpong. The tour can include stops in Rishop (21 km), Charkhole (29 km), and Kolakham (29 km).
