Lepchakha - 
This is yet another gem of Buxa Tiger Reserve. Lepchakha altitude is 1097 meter. It is considered a good trekking destination here and the hilly terrain looks beautiful. Despite living in Alipurduar I have never been there. most of the local people are lepcha community which justify the name itself. Elusive Himalayan Grey Langur spotted here last year for first time and a tourist has captured the image.
