I can’t speak for everybody, but you can’t deny that most of us have dreamt of living in a colonial cottage, experiencing the heritage and richness at least once in our lifetime. Most of us have sighed at the sight of a classic mid-18th century cottage and wished it were us living in that majestic piece of architecture. Will you be amazed if we tell you that there is a place where you can taste the legacy of an 18th-century British bungalow and the beauty of nature- at the very same place? Let me tell you about the tea garden at Sukhiapokhari. It is a beautiful, well-maintained tea garden with exceptional views of the Kanchenjunga Mountain Range. It is only 18 km from Darjeeling, which makes it easy to navigate.
