The Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) plans to convert Chitrey, 7km from Darjeeling into a tourist spot.
Chitrey is an isolated spot where tourists make a brief halt on their way to the Tibetan Refugee Center and Lebong. “The location of Chitrey is its selling point. We want to modernize it and project it as another destination for tourists to visit while in Darjeeling. The budget for converting Chitrey into a regular tourist spot is pegged at INR5 crore which will include a parking facility and washrooms. The final blueprint will be chalked out after preparing the detailed project report,” said Sonam Bhutia, Tourism Secretary for GTA was quoted as saying in Times of India.
