Orientation
"Takdah" is a Lepcha term meaning mist or fog and if you visit Takdah, you will realise the aptness of the name. The famous Takdah Cantonment is located a short distance from Takdah bazaar and used to be the hub of the British military residences during their colonial days. The renowned Takdah club, built in the year 1902, is now a Forest rest house.
At an altitude of about 4000 feet, Takdah has very pleasant weather around the year. It is surrounded immediately 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 which has wandered out of this outlying forest.
Vasudharani homestay, although named a homestay, is not a very typical one but the concern and service given to you will never feel like you are staying as a guest you are treated as a family. Its structure is modern, a 2-storeyed house with marble flooring and modern fixtures. There are 4 rooms, all on the upper floor along with a sitting and dining area as well kitchen. There is space to park your car in front of the roadside. The rooms have big screens from where you can enjoy the entire view of the Teesta Valley and surrounding areas.
The property has well-furnished rooms with an attached washroom installed with modern amenities, with vehicle parking facilities on the road in front.
The homestay has 4 rooms in total which are well furnished with wooden partitions, each can accommodate up to a maximum of 4 persons. All rooms have attached Western-style modern washrooms with geysers.
