Trekking in Ghoom - a small hilly locality in Darjeeling - will take us to Ghoom railway station, the highest rail station in India, and Ghoom monastery, one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries located just below Ghoom railway station, to see an enshrined image of Maitreya Buddha. From Ghoom you can also visit Senchel sanctuary, which offers great picnic spots, and its two artificial lakes serve as a reservoir for supply of water to Darjeeling town. Many tourists are attracted towards "Senchal Lake" near by Senchel sanctuary for its picturesque beauty of water and blue sky. How about enjoying a picnic in this highest golf course and picnic spot in the world. Exciting trek......indeed.
