The Elgin Mount Pandim offers a unique and personal tryst with the Himalayas. Set in eight acres of virgin forest and landscaped gardens, it evokes the charm created by it's previous owners, the royal family of Sikkim - and offers a peaceful retreat about one hundred and fifty kilometers from Siliguri, with a glorious view of the Singalila range. The three- hundred year old Pemayangtse monastery is right next to the resort on a verdant hill top covered by moist temperate Oak forests.

It offers an excellent vantage point for watching rare birds including the Green-tailed sunbirds, Rufous-gorgeted Flycatchers, Scimiter Babblers and Laughing thrushes.
