Located at an altitude of 7,887 feet, CHATAKPUR is  a paradise for nature lovers as one can get a spectacular view  of the imposing mountain range of Kanchenjunga and at the same time experience the overwhelming lush green forest in a quiet village setting with a population of only around 90 people and 18 village houses.Chatakpur is the hilltop next to famous tiger hill sunrise point. It is a small forest village with less than two dozen huts and its total inhabitants number less than a hundred. This makes Chatakpur one of the most exclusive and secluded tourist destinations of the region.
