Traveler's tips
Lush greenery, rugged cliffs, and tranquility surround the mesmerizing Changey Falls in the serene village of Kolakham in Kalimpong.
The path to the waterfall is a 900-meter downward trail and the journey is an onerous one. There's a paved path initially but the lower you descend, the rougher the path, eventually becoming narrow and slippery and filled with huge boulders and dense bushes.
However, the challenging trail will be worth it as you trek through the deep forests and the rustling leaves under your feet and chirping of the rarest birds become the only sounds. Finally standing in front of the gigantic spectacle cascading down the rugged cliffs and crashing into the pool, all you feel is wonder. There's peace here, contrasted with the roaring sounds of Changey.
