'''Gurashey Forest Resort''', near Sukhia Pokhri, is one of the new attractions on the misty heights of the Eastern Himalayas. The entire Kanchenjunga range can be viewed from the resort. At dawn and dusk, the mountains bathed in gold present an unforgettable sight. Surrounded by slopes of [[silver fir]], [[Tsuga|hemlock]] and [[magnolia]], Gurashey stands brooding. A pall of gloom seems to hang over the township for most of the year, like the veil of clouds that obscures the Kanchenjunga and other snow-capped titans in the distance. In spring, though, the sparkle of rhododendrons lights up the region. | '''Gurashey Forest Resort''', near Sukhia Pokhri, is one of the new attractions on the misty heights of the Eastern Himalayas.
