We stayed at Birdsong in October 2023. It is about 20 minutes drive down the mountain from Mirik. There are lovely views from the balcony over the trees and across the valley (rather misty when we were there, so we didn't get the full effect). The accommodation was comfortable and reasonably maintained. There was good wi-fi (hurray!) and a water filter system in the kitchen area which gave us more confidence to drink the water (we're European, so have to take care over what water we drink in India). We chose our meals off the menu (although we could have self-catered). The staff were accommodating but not particularly friendly - although that may just have been a language barrier. We walked into Mirik from Birdsong, and enjoyed visiting the Buddhist temple, and walking around the lake. A taxi was arranged for us to get to Bagdogra Airport. It was a clean, well kept car and a careful driver... a real treat! Pramod, the manager, was helpful and spoke good English. We only saw him once, though.
