Tarey Bhir
A roughly 3 km knife-edge cliff ridge south of Namchi, with a path running along the clifftop and hundreds of meters of valley below to the Teesta River.
Tarey Bhir is a steep rocky ridge about 16 km south of Namchi, near Sadam village. The government has built a railed path, viewing pavilions, and a lookout tower along the clifftop. From here you can see the valleys of the Teesta and Rangit rivers and the Darjeeling hills across the way. The path is a little over 1 km one way, with many ups and downs. Visitors are few, making it a good spot for landscape photography. It's about 40 minutes by hired car from Namchi and is often combined with Char Dham and Samdruptse as a day trip around Namchi. The clifftop is windy, and on rainy days the path is slippery, so stay away from the edge.
