Location / Accessibility
At an altitude of about 4000 feet, Takdah has delightful weather around the year. It is surrounded by towering pine trees, beyond which lies the natural forest area. If you venture out for a walk along the paths of Takdah in the early morning or late evening, don't be surprised if you venture across a wild boar or a barking deer that has wandered out of this remote forest.
In the early 1900s, Takdah used to be a British military cantonment and during this time, several bungalows sprang up as accommodations for British officers. These buildings now belong to the locals and some of them were converted into schools and offices, while some are now run as tourist accommodations. The famous Takdah Club is now the forest rest house.
The Takdah Orchid center is about a 10-15 minute walk from our homestay. The center is home to a variety of colorful and unique Himalayan orchids. The famous Rungli Rungliot tea garden is 1.5 Km from here. Visit the Takdah Monastery (you will need to climb up a number of steps) for an unhindered view of the surrounding tea estates, Durpin Dara viewpoint, and Kalimpong.
You can take a drive to Lamahatta Park, Dawaipani, Chotamangwa, Baramangwa.
The average temperature in Takdah during the summer months ranges between 19 to 25 degrees and in winter, the mercury hits a minimum of 6 and a maximum of about 14 degrees. The best time to visit Takdah is in the months of October to March when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear.
