About the property:

The English Cottage is encircled its own natural gardens, affording unimpeded views of Nepal's, Sikkim's, and Bhutan's mountains, including the majestic Kanchenjunga range. The cosy bedrooms of this property feature wooden floorboards, fireplaces, and vistas of the scenic surroundings when you look up from the writing desks. On the first floor, there are two attic bedrooms with shared access to the sky deck, which offers spectacular views of the Kanchenjunga range. They also have two bedrooms on the ground floor, as well as a dining room and kitchenette. The best views of the Kanchenjunga range may be had from the sun deck on the ground floor.

Tripoto’s Secret Tip:

This charmingly decorated four-bedroom cottage offers beautiful views of Kanchenjunga from every room as well as from the sundeck. The magical views of the radiant rays of the golden sun, slowly making its way to the top of the sky through the snow-covered peaks of the Kanchenjunga range is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The combination of Himalayan culture romancing with fresh mountain air dominated by the heavenly aroma of Darjeeling tea makes this place very special.

You may get a good view of the Kanchenjunga range from the property. June to September is considered to be a rainy season in Darjeeling. During this time, everything turns lush green, and the streams, rivers are in full spate, and the waterfalls are at their best. From October to February, the temperatures are lower, yet the weather is good with sunny days and cold nights. The mountain range is also the most visible during this time.
