At a distance of 6 km from Pashupati Market, 20 km from Mirik and 24 km from Darjeeling, Simana is a viewpoint situated at Simana Basti on Darjeeling - Mirik Road in West Bengal. Situated on Indo - Nepal border, it is one of the popular viewpoints in Mirik and among the must visit Tourist Places in Mirik. Situated at an altitude of 7500 feet, Simana Viewpoint is a 60 feet by 40 feet plateau which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding plains, snow-capped peaks of Mount Kanchenjunga and the tiny hamlets of Nepal. Simana means border in Hindi. This is the Indo-Nepal border area, the road itself belongs to India and the viewing area falls in Nepal. But visitors can freely cross over to get the mesmerizing views. Simana Viewpoint is famous for offering a splendid view of Maneybhanjan, Sandakphu trail and the lofty mountainous valley with the backdrop of Mount Kanchenjunga. The view point has become a pit stop while traveling to Darjeeling from Mirik or vice versa. From Simana for a long way towards Mirik, the road acts as the divider between India and Nepal. They are all mostly Nepalese. At Simana, you will find several small stalls - some selling tea, snacks, and chocolates

Simana, a unique spot where you can literally straddle the border between India and Nepal, offers an outstanding viewpoint showcasing the breathtaking Kangchenjunga Mountain. Positioned in the border region, the valley serves as a clear demarcation. The optimal time for a visit is October to November when Mt. Kanchenjunga graces the panorama. Winter, however, brings a sharp drop in temperature. Aside from the awe-inspiring views, Simana View Point boasts a market where you can shop for clothing and various items. If you find yourself traveling between Darjeeling and Mirik or vice versa, a stop at this location is a must. Capture the picturesque landscapes and relish the unique experience of straddling two countries in one scenic vista. Simana is a brief yet captivating pause in your journey, providing memorable views and photo opportunities.

Translating Simana literally in Hindi means Border. It’s a border of India and Nepal. Well while on your way to Simana, you’d go into Nepal a lot of times though. The road where the vehicles parks, belongs to India whereas the view is in Nepal. However considering the Indo-Nepal friendship, there’s no border restriction, and you are free to step into Nepal! Although the culture and language on both sides of the border are mostly the same. So it’s very common that someone’s in-law’s house is right on the opposite however they belong to Nepal / India. So cross-border marriage is a very common thing here! And the absence of any such fencing or those kinds of things, makes these people move freely on the other side of the border. You can see the town Maneybhanjan and the narrow route leading to Sandakphu from this viewpoint.

Simana means border in hindi. This is Indo Nepal border area.The road is in India and view area falls under Nepal. Place also called zero point.Best place for great views. It is a wonderful view point..On a clear day you can see the beautiful mountains,valley .. From Simana towards Mirik, the road acts as the divider between India and Nepal. Its a Indo-Nepal border. The view from here is breathtaking .The Nepali village where according to our taxi driver the permit for Sandakphu trekking is taken can be seen from here and one can also see the winding roads leading to Sandakphu .To your right will see the mighty , beautiful Kanchenjunga range . There are a lot of stalls selling teas, momos, noodles , woollen clothings etc., at a good price.
