  • Description

    Roosted at an elevation of 1500 feet over the ground, Jaldhaka is a captivating district with the amazing scene and untouched beauty that is being rarely visited by tourist. Jaldhaka is a valley town hidden in the hills of Kalimpong district. It takes you back in time when nature was, all that man cared about. The place is one of those that will combine the beauty of a relaxation trip with the thrill of an adventure getaway. Green crevasses ignoring the glimmering waters and bird-filled cool environment are well-suited to direct short treks and bird viewing. In the hills of West Bengal, at the India- Bhutan border is Jaldhaka, a quaint hill station by the Jaldhaka river Valley. Rivers, mountains, ethnic Indian Bazaars, treks- you name it! If you want to get away from your hectic life in the urban jungle, then Jaldhaka is the place to be.
