Chatakpur Homestay | A New Attraction Near Senchal Forest

There are very few people who don’t like the mountains. It is safe to say that we are not one of them. Although we absolutely love the serenity and weather of a hill station, the fun becomes stale if the hill destination is an overcrowded tourist spot. However, we can assure you that it won’t be a problem if you plan to visit Chatakpur. The sleepy town of Chatakpur lies in the green lap of the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary of Darjeeling, West Bengal. It is surrounded by long, green pine trees and a lush green mountain valley. The quaint, serene hamlet has a population of 90 only. There are 19 families and most of them own a homestay for tourists.
