Tinchuley is a hamlet on the ridge above Takdah, named for the three hilltops around it. Homestays look down over tea gardens and, on a clear morning, across to the snow line.

It makes a wonderful second night: the climb up from Sittong gives the day a shape, and the sunset from the ridge is the main event.

What's here

  • Ridge viewpoint at sunset
  • Tea garden and village walk
  • Takdah orchid centre and the old British bungalows
