Discover Darjeeling
Darjeeling, derived from ‘Dorji Ling’ or the God of Thunder, is fondly known as the “Queen of Hills”. Nestled in the cool hill-tops, the Elgin greets you with a warm glow in the sparkle of cherry liquor and a silken khada, draped around your neck as a part of its traditional North-Eastern welcome. The residence throbs with a palpable feeling of the rich history dating back to the early days of the Raj, illuminated in its various nooks and crannies with Douglases and Daniells painted over fireplaces and dining spaces. The charm of the place is attested by royalty like, the Crown Prince of Sikkim, Tenzing Namgyal, the royal family of Bhutan, the US Ambassador Galbraith and writers like Dominique Lapierre and Mark Tully.
