Are Tourists so Bored of Mirik?
Mirik has always been an awesome location for tourists and has always been a hotspot as a popular tourist destinations.
But it is also true that tourism is also degrading in Mirik day by day. There was a time when Mirik used to ve flooded with tourists with all hotels packed and the lake crowded. But now it seems that the Mirik lake is the only possible tourist attraction and there isn't any additional tourist attraction in Mirik that could drive more tourists. There has been.no development in Mirik to promote tourism and tourist inflow.
Today most tourists prefer to visit tourist spots in Sikkim than Mirik due to the lack of competitive tourist attraction and maybe tourists visiting the Mirik lake are actually bored of it. What is your say about that ???
Below is a photo of two tourists bored and sleeping in a bench in the lake park in Krishnanagar.
