Situated atop the hill in the Neora Valley National Park are two charming villages called Todey and Tangta. These hamlets were renowned for their cardamom plantations. Despite not being well-known among travelers, Todey and Tangta remain hidden gems due to the ongoing development of tourism infrastructure and limited availability of accommodations. However, those interested in visiting Todey Tangta can do so by starting their journey from Bindu or Jhalong. It takes approximately an hour to drive from Bindu to Todey village, followed by a three-hour trek from Todey to Tangta.
Situated on the far end of the Indian border, adjacent to the neighboring kingdom of Bhutan, Todey Tangta has historically been significant for its abundant production of cardamom. However, in recent years, the yield has significantly decreased due to the spread of fungal diseases affecting the plants. Todey Tangta is also renowned as the entry point to the picturesque Rochelle peak. From here, you can embark on a journey to Rachella peak, which requires a six to eight-hour climb from Tangta. For those in need, load-carrying horses are available in Tangta. Rachella boasts several natural lakes and is home to a charming monastery atop Todey Hill, which is inhabited by approximately 30 households.
The village is renowned for its medicinal plants, particularly the Chamelidevi Ayurvedic Garden located nearby. The hike to Tangta offers a breathtaking view of the neighboring valley, and upon reaching this charming hamlet, visitors will be captivated by the serene atmosphere and stunning scenery. For the more adventurous, there is the option to continue trekking to Rachelle peak or return to Todey while enjoying a dip in the natural hot water spring called Dabai Khola, known for its medicinal properties.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find tranquility at Todey, where a stunning view of the hills in Bhutan awaits you at a decade-old church. Experience a closer connection to nature by exploring Tangta and immerse yourself in the rejuvenating waters known for their medicinal properties. Todey and Tangta are perfect destinations for those seeking the beauty and serenity of a charming place, offering a breathtaking display of nature in its most pristine state.
