Tinchuley is a distant hamlet in the wilderness. It is one of the hidden treasures of Darjeeling region. ‘Three Ovens’ or ‘Chullas’ is the meaning of the word ‘Tinchuley’. It was an initiative of the inhabitants of Tinchuley to convert their rural village into self-sustained eco-urban village. The organizations like WWF (World Wildlife Federation) contributed to the development of floriculture projects, forest nursery, and by-compost and vermin-compost manure projects. There are numerous viewpoints in Tinchuley like the Gumbadara View point, which gives extraordinary views of River Teesta. The Tinchuley View point gives nearly a 180 degree view of the entire range of Eastern Himalayas with the majestic Mt. Kanchenjunga ruling the sky.
