Glenburn

Started by a Scottish tea planter in 1859, Glenburn makes for a stunning experience that is almost akin to the vineyards of Europe — a rustic, tranquil, Arcadian retreat that’s lost in time, place and luxury. Enclosed within 1,000 acres of private land and with two rivers running through it, Glenburn’s colonial Burra Bungalow and the Water Lily Bungalow overlooks the snowy peaks of Kanchenjunga and looks out to the town of Darjeeling. Stay in the suites of the bungalows or in the campsite lodge in the estate, but do take the tour to see tea travel from the garden to the cup. Go bird-watching by the river side or sit outside in the lawn to enjoy high tea, this estate is perfect for a tranquil and experiential stay.
