Summary:
The floating market that was set up on the lake in 2018, was completely destroyed in August last year by a devastating storm. It was Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who had formally inaugurated the floating market from the venue of the Hill Business summit held in March 2018. Darjeeling tea, honey and oranges will also be available at the floating market. People visiting Darjeeling hardly miss the opportunity to spend some time in and around Mirik Lake. "We are hopeful that the tourists visiting the lake will surely be attracted by this market," a senior WBKVIB official said..
