What Makes It Awesome?

Takdah is a small town 28km from Darjeeling, named so because of the clouds of fog and mist it is perennially under. It’s at a height of 4,000 feet. The quaint town has some of Darjeeling’s finest tea plantations. Also visit the large Orchid Center here, one of the best in Asia. Witness a sunrise here for an experience of a lifetime, enjoy the coolness of the river Teesta and experience nature like never before.

Tinchuley a hidden gem, is located 3 km from Takdah and is one of the favourite destinations for people who want to travel to an offbeat location in north Bengal. It has some very nice views to offer along with a nice trekking route.

I have a scooty and I love travelling around the lanes of the city on my scooty searching for new places and shops. I love making friends and love travelling as well. Every weekend I go to a different place and try to absorb the freshness that place brings in. Working at Cognizant, staying at Salt Lake.
