Located at the foothills of the eastern Himalayas in North Bengal, India, the colonial-style bungalow and cottages boast a spectacular view of the Kanchenjunga range and Sikkim hillsides. The estate is also a organic cardamom and turmeric farm bordered by streams and dozens of uncultivated fruit trees and lush bamboo groves. Ideal for artists, scholars, birders, backpackers & families. A small reference library is open to visitors. You can spot many species of butterflies and at least a dozen species of birds as well as squirrels snacking on guavas, pears, peaches, amlas, persimmons, rudraksha berries and bamboo shoots. On a clear day, you can view the 145-foot statue of Shiva at Char Dham Temple in Namchi, Sikkim, a couple of hills to the North. Kalimpong town is visible from the front lawns, including Delo, the highest point of the township as well as gorgeous views of Macfarlane Church (1890), Dr. Graham's Homes (1900) and the old leprosy colony. And, of course, sunrise and sunset views of Mt. Kanchenjunga. Guests are free to spread a blanket and picnic anywhere within the estate.We have three friendly dogs and plenty of nosy squirrels. Kids love to go insect hunting here. Or pick up a gardening tool and help out. Cell phone signals are good. Wi-fi is available in the library. Plug in your laptop anywhere. Or sit outside in the lawns. Get a haircut and a massage from the local barber (our family barber for 50 years!) Ayurvedic oil massages from trained masseur/masseuse may also be arranged. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Horseback riding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9620000/9617900/9617828/9fc163dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sinclairs Retreat Kalimpong Kalimpong - Pool - Breakfast included - Spa - Parking included 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews CA $85 CA $90 total includes taxes & fees Nov 27 - Nov 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-27&endDate=2025-11-28&selected=9617828&PinnedHotelID=9617828&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby lounge](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4020000/4014000/4013920/990265b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Elgin Silver Oaks, Kalimpong Kalimpong - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.4 Very good 15 reviews CA $86 CA $91 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=4013920&PinnedHotelID=4013920&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72050000/72047000/72046951/9bd1d4bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountaineers Stay Darjeeling - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi CA $42 CA $71 total includes taxes & fees Nov 26 - Nov 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=72046951&PinnedHotelID=72046951&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98540000/98532800/98532745/b38f5077.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New built, close to all sightseeing and adventure activities.
