The village is located close to Bhutan, the areal distance not being more than 2 to 3 km. There is a border outpost of the security agencies here. The village has a very small population of about a hundred people. The main attraction of Lepchakha is the view from the hilltop. There is a large ground where you can seat on a bench and be mesmerized by the view of Dooars in front. Almost the entire Buxa forest area is visible from here including every nook and corner. As many as seven rivers flowing through the Buxa forest can be seen from here. To your extreme left, you can see river Sankosh followed by River Raidak, Jayanti, Bala, and others. You can see Alipurduar town, Jayanti riverbed, Santalabari and the entire green cover in front of you. Turn around and behind you are the hills of Mahakal, Chuna bhatti and Rovers point which together makes for a great trek.
