 Tinchuley
The word Tinchuley stands for three chullas
(chulla means oven). It is a relatively new tourist destination
of the region. Tinchuley is located close to the famous tourist
destination of Darjeeling which
can be reached through a drive of 32 kilometers. It is at a
distance of 80 kilometers from Siliguri,
43 kilometers from Kalimpong and
88 kilometers from Gangtok.
Even a few years back Tinchuley was a remote
hamlet. The inhabitants of this quite settlement took an initiative
for establishing their locality as a model village. With the
help of organizations such as the WWF, the village soon developed
eco-tourism resorts. The villagers
also showed keen interest in modern farming and with the help
of WWF they developed floriculture, vermiculture, organic projects.
