Takdah was formerly a British cantonment area as early as the 1900s and it still holds that old world aura. The British had chosen this place after much thought. The place is surrounded by hills and cannot be seen easily from the other side of the mountains. A perfect place for their cantonment! Also, the place is quite near to Darjeeling away from the oppressive heat of the plains. So many houses and bungalows had come up for the accommodation of the British.

Takdah Cantonment is a neighbourhood in the Rangli Rangliot CD block in the Darjeeling Sadar subdivision of the Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. It is one of the upcoming tourist centres of the Darjeeling hills. It is called Takdah, which literary means always covered, in one of the local folk-lore, as you would know when you visit the fog: Takdah is beautiful place in Darjeeling where you can hangout with family and friends. Takdah is a romantic place in Darjeeling.Roads which connects Takdah is very bad condition.

Takdah Cantonment, as the name signifies, was a British cantonment before the independence of India. It was the destination for many British officers of high rank from all over India. After independence, like many other towns and villages, Takdah was abandoned by the new order. It was only recently that people really started to settle down in the area. Though the Britishers are long gone, we can still find the beautiful structures erected during the British era. The marvel of Takdah lies in the old, abandoned club house which is just a km away from the town. In comparison to its surrounding, the town is on a higher altitude giving way to cedar trees and is much colder than the towns surrounding it.
