Darjeeling Heritage Bungalow

A Heritage Bungalow near Darjeeling.

Modern urban lifestyle has its charms and perks, nevertheless, after a while, the familiar buildings and routes appear quite tiring. If you are feeling under the weather in the city-life, fresh mountain air and greenery is what you need. The ‘Queen of the Hills’- Darjeeling is an amazing place for such a vacation. However, in peak tourist season, the maddening crowd follows. If one wants to relax amidst nature and enjoy the natural beauty of the mountain, Nomadic Rhododendron Resort Darjeeling is the perfect place to be. The zig-zagging hilly roads lead into the property where wood-panelled rooms are laden with luxury, comfort and heritage vibe. Furthermore, the twinkling night of the city lights up the night landscape like a Christmas tree. When the foggy veil is lifted, snow-capped Kanchanjangha welcomes you into a bright new day.
