Highlights

Location: Close to Chowrasta and Mahakal Temple

Rooms: Luxurious accommodations with mountain views

Nature: Diverse bird species and lush gardens

Heritage: Bungalow of Ex-TATA Chairman Russi Mody

Groups: Entire property available for private bookings

“Once the private bungalow of an ex-Tata chairman, the property distinguishes itself with colonial architecture and a location steps from Mall Road; its serene setting particularly suits nature lovers seeking quietude near Himalayan views. It's my opinion that its heritage, combined with modern comforts and attentive service, creates a truly unique Darjeeling experience. However, keep in mind that while some rooms provide mountain views, others are situated further from key attractions.”
