3. Lepchajagat

This outcast, offbeat destination makes for a wonderful weekend getaway if you’re a nature lover. The densely forested area transports you to a new frame of mind all together, making it a wonderfully romantic escape. A lot of tourists come here during their trip to Darjeeling for this very reason, and guess what? Lepchajagat lives up to their expectations!

Rich in biodiversity, Dooars are the alluvial flood plains in Northeastern India that lie south of the outer foothills of the Himalayas and north of the Brahmaputra River basin. The Jaldapara Forests in Dooars is an old tourist destination which will mesmerise you with its lush bounty. Retire in the lavish Holong Bunglow in the forest and enjoy the serenity of this beautiful destination! 

5. Tinchuley

This tiny little hamlet on the hills of Darjeeling will win your hearts with its amazing culture, people, food, orchards, tea gardens and everything else. With the assistance of the World Wide Federation, Tinchuley is developing manifold and its tourism is on the rise. This is a mini rejuvenation center as you’ll find yourself among the crowd, yet far far away from them!
