Mairung Gaon (also spelled Mayrong Gaon) is a quiet, off-the-beaten-path village in the Kalimpong district of West Bengal, nestled close to the Neora Valley National Park and surrounded by dense forests and hills. At an altitude of around 5,000 ft (≈1,500 m), the village is known for its lush greenery, fresh mountain air, and spectacular views of the Himalayan peaks — including Kanchenjunga, Nathula and the Sikkim hills on clear days.
