History of Takdah :

Takdah Cantonment, near Tinchule and Lamahatta, was a British cantonment before the independence of India. It was the destination for many British officers of high rank from all over India. After independence, like many other towns and villages, Takdah was abandoned by the new order. It was only recently that people really started to settle down in the area. Though the Britishers are long gone, we can still find the beautiful structures erected during the British era. The marvel of Takdah lies in the old, abandoned club house which is just a km away from the town. In comparison to its surrounding, the town is on a higher altitude giving way to cedar trees and is much colder than the towns surrounding it.

Takdah is close to coniferous forests where small treks and strolls are possible. Takdah Cantonment has an orchid centre with a wide variety of rare Himalayan orchids. This centre has been the favourite of tourists visiting Takdah. The nearest tea gardens are Rungli Rungliet TE, Giele TE and Teesta Valley TE. The main junction of Takdah is called Dara Dokan. Also just 3 kms of distance from popular destinations like Lamahatta & Tinchule. A weekly market(HAAT), held every Thursday, is a sight worth watching as people from all the nearby villages come to shop their weekly needs.
