Looking for a peaceful escape in the lap of nature? Welcome to our homestay in the serene surroundings of Takdah.
Takdah—a word derived from the Lepcha language, meaning 'mist' or 'fog-shrouded mountain.' Situated at an altitude of about 5,400 feet above sea level, this serene mountain village holds a rich and historic past. Around 1911, the British government developed this area as a military cantonment. A collection of historic British bungalows built during that era still stand today, beautifully preserving the region's majestic heritage.
Lance Explore was envisioned to offer you a peaceful escape from the chaos of daily life, wrapping you in the nostalgia of yesteryears and the serene stillness of nature. Our goal is not just to provide you with a place to stay, but to introduce you to the authentic and soulful lifestyle of the hills.
One of the finest and most renowned orchid centers in Asia. It houses a vibrant variety of rare, exotic mountain orchids. Watching these colorful blooms peek through the rolling mist is a truly magical experience.
Scattered across the nooks and corners of Takdah are heritage clubhouses and bungalows from the British era. Their timeless architecture will instantly transport you a century back in time.
Walking through the lush green, stepped tea gardens of Rungli Rungliot and Teesta Valley brings a profound sense of peace. The panoramic views from Lance Explore will absolutely steal your heart.
This spot offers a stunning, sweeping panoramic view of the entire Teesta Valley and the surrounding majestic hills—a perfect paradise for photography lovers.
