The word “Bhir” means cliff in the local Nepali language and this Bhir is a 10000 feet long cliff-edge with almost 3500 feet abrupt drop. Our Tarey Bhir resort is located on the hilltop of this geological wonder, which is covered in pine forests. There is a pathway over the edge of the ridge. This pathway is guarded by a railing and you can take a walk over the Bhir and the Pine forests, do some bird watching and if you are really lucky you can also catch a glimpse of the illusive Bharal (mountain Wild Sheep) perched on some cracks of the sheer rock face of Tarey Bhir.

The views of the Eastern Himalayas from the monastery complex is spectacular. Chalamthang literally means “Orange Farm” in Lepcha language. This small village is a true traveller’s paradise.
