Hidden Gem of Kalimpong

Hidden gem in Kalimpong. Best views of mighty Kanchenjunga and holy river Teesta. Very tranquil and peaceful surroundings. Very comfortable and spacious ensuite rooms with all the modern facilities. Local food 😋 was very tasty and freshly made. Highly recommended and we will visit again.

Spectacular Himalayan view with organic home made cuisine

We had a great time at the Relimai Retreat in Kalimpong! The retreat is super nice and clean, very modern with western-standard hotel-rooms, but at the same time, offering a very home-like feeling!

The view from the room is amazing and we woke up in the morning seeing the mountains and listening to the wonderful bird sounds. A great place to relax and enjoy the nature around and the beautiful village houses with friendly neighbours.

he owner is a very nice and friendly person and we enjoyed chatting with him, learned a lot about local & Indian cultures in general (as this was our first Indian trip). The organic meals were brilliant, freshly made from vegetables grown in the garden and were tailor made depending on our preferences, in our case, vegan for me and meats for my wife.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience ! :)

Beautifully homely!

Absolutely wonderful experience this one! Nestled beautifully amidst lush greenery with great views - much higher and away from the crowded Kalimpong city centre - yet quickly (15mins) accessible from it, this gem is spotlessly clean, and most tastefully furnished. However, what really distinguishes this place is the sincere care and hospitality of its owners - Sujata and Nischal who left no stones unturned to make our 5 day stay - a memory to cherish forever.

Home in the mountains

High on the picturesque hilltop is a wonderful mountain hideaway, run by a wonderful couple Nischal and Sujata Gurung.

We spent a comfortable two nights stay in this thoughtfully done up property.

The view of the mountains ,valley and the sunsets are to die for..

Thanks for being such amazing host.

The Villa Itself is Beautifully Designed, Spotless, and Oh-So-Cozy.

Had an amazing stay here! If you're looking for peace and quiet away from the town’s hustle, this is the place. The hosts are incredibly friendly and caring, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The villa itself is beautifully designed, spotless, and oh-so-cozy.

And the views are simply stunning! You’re treated to a panoramic view of the Darjeeling hills and Melli, with sunsets that will leave you speechless. Plus, the food is fantastic — both dinner and breakfast offer a huge spread of fresh, locally sourced goodness that hits the spot every time.

Relimai Retreat - A Heavenly Abode

A heavenly place with magical views of Kanchanjunga from the bed rooms and balcony upstairs. Time stops still there, just wait and watch the magical Sun playing with the colours of Kanchanjunga. The hosts are friendly and caring serving great food. Definitely a recommendation to visit this place and embrace the beauty of the Himalayas.
