Tinchuley Homestay

The Gurung Guest House, a small Homestay managed by the local Gurung family, is nestled in the comfortable lap of the lovely Himalayan village of Tinchuley.
The particular care, attention, and warmth that distinguishes the host’s hospitality must be experienced firsthand to appreciate how much this outweighs the rich decors, room service, and other comforts that are typical of normal hotels and resorts.

Attractions:
Tinchuley’s main draw is the tranquilly of its surroundings; you may take a walk among the many pine and oak trees that abound in the region. There is very no traffic on the road, and you may spend the entire day contentedly meandering through the countryside, oblivious to your city worries.
Dawn point is a great spot to see the sunrise in the morning. In addition, the East Himalayan mountain range may be seen from this elevation. The Tinchuley Monastery, which is located near the viewpoint, is well worth a visit.
Gumbadara viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the Teesta River, and Gumbadara rock and cave lie just above the viewpoint. Gumbadara rock and cave is a natural cave with a narrow entrance that is ideal for climbing practice.
Takdah, Lamahatta, Mangwa, and Darjeeling are all nearby tourist spots.

Around 32 kilometres from Darjeeling, one may reach the nearest station, NJP, by drive, which would take around 3 to 4 hours. From Bagdogra, NJP, Siliguri, Darjeeling, and Kalimpong, however, you may take both reserved and shared cabs. Darjeeling to Takdah buses is also available.
If you’re coming from Darjeeling, you’ll take Peshok Road to Mile 6. To go to Tinchuley via Takdah cantonment area, turn right here and continue the woodland road.
The road via Teesta Bazar is the shortest if you are coming from the west, such as Kalimpong, Gangtok, or even Siliguri. Tinchuley is reached through an inconspicuous route with a hard rise from Teesta Bazar. The distance from Tista Bazar is only 15 kilometres.

If you enjoy nature, beautiful views of the Himalayan range, seeing the Teesta meander through mountain vistas, tea gardens, orange orchards, walking along village walks, seeing various birds, learning about local culture, people, and food, this is the place for you.
