Chatakpur is a village within the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, located in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India.[1][2] It sits at an elevation of 2,404 m (7,887 ft).[1] One of the highest villages in the district,[3] Chatakpur sits at a distance of about 25 km (15.5 mi) from Darjeeling and 7 km (4.3 mi) from Sonada, a census town in the Jorebunglow Sukhiapokhri CD block.[4][5] Sparsely populated, Chatakpur is variously described as an eco-friendly village[1][4] and an ecovillage,[6][5] given the residents' reliance on the homestay industry and terrace farming.[1][5] In 2017, India's first hill station cycle trail was opened in Darjeeling.[7][6][8][9] The trail begins near Jorebungalow and concludes at Chatakpur.[6][10] There is also a watchtower in the village.[5][11]
