Takdah and Tinchuley are little-known hill villages just 30 km from Darjeeling town. The distance between these two villages is 2 km. These two pollution- and noise-free villages are an ideal travel destination for a two-day vacation.
Due to the quiet and peaceful hilly environment, people are currently coming here from the hustle and bustle of Darjeeling.
The word Tinchuley means three stoves. This place is named because of its shape: three hills, like a stove. Tea gardens, hills, and forests all around create a charming atmosphere. Those who have not heard of these two villages before can travel here.
