One of our all-time favourite places to stay in the Darjeeling area is the heavenly Glenburn Tea Estate – and not just because of the old-world elegance of its colonial architecture. Glenburn also makes the perfect base for walks through the tea plantations, local villages and riverside forests in the area. Expect plenty of interaction with
tea pluckers and jaw-dropping views stretching over the lush hills of Sikkim to the snow-covered Kanchenjunga massif.
