The location of this Tea Estate is more beautiful than we expected. The place is actually the same like what showed over this website. All rooms are very cozy and clean. From one side beautiful lash green Tea Garden is viewed. Where you can sit at the balcony and look towards the garden for a long time and from the another side wide Kanchenjunga is viewed. Most importantly, this Tea Estate is very budget friendly. The food is really good. The decoration of the dinning is very innovative.
We enjoyed a lot at this place. The morning and evening walk beside the place is very enjoyable. The whole location is very calm.
I must visit this place again in future.
We three Sr.citizen couples visited on 20th & 21st May 2023. Location is fantastic. You can enjoy lash tea garden from the terrace with cup of tea in your hand. Toilets of four rooms in 1st block are OK but rooms are not very clean, It seems rooms have not been maintained properly. There was no glass in one door. Lamp bracket is hanging . Owner does not stay here. So I think manager has got some limitations. Food is ok. We had bar-b-q . Location is really nice . Only thing, owner should take some interest to improve the interior of the rooms.
