Orientation
Bara Mangwa busty is about 12 Km from Teesta Bazar and comes under the Takdah Block. The area is well known for oranges in particular and tomatoes, potatoes and other vegetables which are organically grown here. The homestay here is a century-old house of the Moktans who were one of the first people to start living in the area. The hospitality of the Moktans and their love for their heritage and history make this place unique.
The homestay here was started recently. It is nestled just below a viewpoint to which you can walk for a panoramic scene - it is a 15-minute walk up a gentle slope. The homestay is a two-storied stone and concrete building. The place is encircled by farmland and has a good view of the surrounding area. There is a small lawn in front where you can sit and enjoy the view over a cup of tea. It also acts as a play area for children.
