Tinchuley is one of the small villages in the district of Darjeeling and the beautiful place is famous for its pristine natural beauty and many tourists in recent years started visiting this place. The local people are into it in developing community tourism. The main attraction of village Tinchuley is its home hospitality where one gets to eat bio-organic food and stay in the village. In the local language, the word Tinchuley means three Chullas or three ovens. For the effort and an active participation of the locals in the improvement of the environment, the village Tinchuley is declared as a model village by WWF. The leading effort comes from the Gurung family who has developed the model of homestay to suit their condition. The people of Tinchuley have undertaken several eco-friendly projects including the building of forest nursery, floriculture project, bio-compost manure projects, and many other such projects. Besides the natural beauty and the home hospitality of the village, there are more to explore in and around the model village Tinchuley. The must-visit tourist destinations in Tinchuley are the Sunrise point of Tinchuley from where the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the Teesta valley can see.
