Darjeeling, Indian Himalayas, India

Enjoy one of our favourite experiences of staying in the foothills of the stunning Kanchenjunga range to experience the heavenly 1,600-acre working Tea Estate established by an entrepreneurial Scottish planter in 1859. Sitting at a fold in the River Rangeet and overlooked by the mighty Kanchenjunga peak, Glenburn offers a stunning range of activities, from walking with the tea pickers to trekking across the rolling hills, experiencing the workings of the living tea factory, camping, and fishing. The nearby monasteries, towns, and villages make excellent day excursions.

Accommodation bungalows offer old-world elegance and charm with four poster beds, a living area, gardens, verandahs, terraces, amazing views of the surrounding mountain range, and service standards that exceed guest expectations.
