Explore Darjeeling on a Luxury trip with a private local guide

Darjeeling, renowned as the birthplace of tea, is a Victorian-era hill station situated 600 kilometers north of Kolkata, at an elevation of 2200 meters in the Eastern Himalayas. Established in 1835, it was the first hill station created by the British during their rule from Calcutta. Upon their arrival, the British quickly recognized the region's potential for tea cultivation, inspired by their earlier successes in Assam. The tea industry continues to thrive today, offering numerous tea walks and tours. 

Located just outside Darjeeling, The Glenburn Tea Estate is a picturesque, operational tea estate where several bungalows of tea planters have been transformed into a charming boutique hotel, featuring elegant decor and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. It serves as an ideal retreat for a luxurious holiday in Darjeeling. Perched on a ridge, Darjeeling is enveloped by lush forests and undulating tea plantations, all framed by the magnificent Himalayas, including Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. 

Experience the stunning landscapes aboard the heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, where a century-old miniature steam engine continues to traverse the scenic hills.
