Darjeeling

Set amidst rolling hills, misty forests and sweeping tea plantations, Darjeeling offers an immersive blend of heritage, wellness and scenic exploration. From sipping tea at world-class estates like Makaibari and Glenburn, to watching the sun rise over Kanchenjunga at Tiger Hill, every moment here slows you down — in the best possible way. The region is also steeped in Buddhist spirituality, with historic monasteries and tranquil trails that lend a meditative rhythm to your days. Expect charming colonial architecture, crisp air, local village walks and a strong emphasis on sustainability and local culture.

Our six-day journey through Darjeeling and Kurseong felt like stepping into a tranquil painting. We began at Taj Chia Kutir, nestled within Makaibari Tea Estate, where tea walks, yoga and sunrise drives made us feel completely in sync with nature. The early morning view of Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill was truly magical. Later, Glenburn Tea Estate offered riverside picnics, sunset teas, and quiet monastery visits that left a lasting impression. From the warmth of local villagers to the silence of the hills, the entire trip felt deeply nourishing — both physically and spiritually.
