Gorkhey
Gorkhey is a small, charming village in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, nestled in a valley near the border with Sikkim. Situated at an altitude of around 7,000 feet, it is surrounded by thick pine forests and a clear, cold mountain river called Gorkhey Khola, which also marks the boundary between West Bengal and Sikkim.
The village has roughly 30 families, mainly relying on agriculture, cultivating crops like potatoes, peas, and maize, while some have embraced homestay tourism to welcome visitors seeking peace and natural beauty.
Gorkhey is a popular stop for trekkers on routes such as the Silent Valley trek and offers opportunities to experience unspoiled nature, vibrant rhododendron blooms in spring, and spectacular views of Himalayan peaks.
With no motorable roads, the village is accessible only by trekking, and traditional means like horses are used for transportation. Gorkhey remains largely untouched by modern life, lacking electricity in most parts but offering a serene, pollution-free environment that invites travelers to relax and immerse themselves in the pristine mountain landscape.
