Kurseong - West Bengal
An Immersion In Time, Terrain, And Tea.
A living tea estate experience awaits, where the Himalayas rise in quiet grandeur. Perched 4,864 feet above sea level, our 100-year-old Badha Saheb's bungalow watches over the mist-laden slopes of Kurseong. Encircled by the historic Singell Tea Estate, planted in 1871 and revered among Darjeeling's finest organic tea gardens, it offers an experience steeped in history, nature, tea culture, and the enduring spirit of the Himalayas.
A Living Tea Estate Experience
You stay at the legendary Singell Tea Estate, one of region’s oldest tea gardens, where you can enjoy guided tea tastings, dawn walks through the tea factory, and intimate conversations with estate elders who bring biodynamic practices to life. Beyond this, there are mist-covered trails beneath ancient pine trees to wander, the majestic landscapes of the Eastern Himalayas to discover, and rare birdlife to spot.
Slow Mountain Living At Its Best
Step into a heritage tea bungalow where hill station charm endures through soaring 20-foot ceilings, teakwood floors, lime-washed walls, and treasured antique furnishings made with handwoven fabrics from nearby looms. A fireplace-lined corridor overlooks lush gardens, while a living room, and reception offer timeless comfort. Outside, a brick amphitheatre and mountain-facing sit-out invite quiet reflection.
