Takdah was once a British army cantonment, and a walk through it still feels a little like stepping back in time. Old colonial bungalows sit among misty pine forests, and the whole area is wonderfully quiet, about 22 km from Dawaipani.
What to see in Takdah
Visit the Takdah Orchid Centre, walk past the heritage bungalows and stop at the old monastery on the way to Tinchuley. The forest roads here are made for long, easy walks.
Plan your visit
Combine Takdah with Tinchuley and Lamahatta for a relaxed day out in the hills.
