Glenburn Tea Estate
Glenburn is a plantation retreat that lies on a hillock above the banks of the River Rungeet, high in the Himalayas, overlooked by the mighty Kanchenjunga mountain range.
Guests are accommodated in one of our two bungalows, each comprising four suites and common areas, gardens, verandahs and terraces accessible to all our guests.
The Burra Bungalow
The focal point of Glenburn hospitality, with its sweeping verandah, cozy living room and grand dining room where candle-lit sit-down dinners are held. The four bedrooms are charmingly decorated, with different themes, and are comfortable, spacious, yet cosy, each with its own bathroom and freestanding bath. Each of the suites, offers a unique experience for our guests. Some have single rooms attached to the main suite allowing comfortable accommodation for a third or fourth sharing the suite, and each of them open up onto the main verandah, with private entrances to the gardens behind the main bungalow.
The recently added Water Lily Bungalow, with four more suites and a stunning location on the edge of the Glenburn spur comprises a living room, smaller dining room, two verandahs and garden areas laid out on two levels, and connected to The Burra Bungalow by stone staircase. It also houses a large recreation and meeting room, as well as our Massage and Steam Room. All four bedrooms have direct views of the mountains, with antique furniture, private balconies, bay windows. The bathrooms have antique free-standing bathtubs, each with a view, walk-in rain showers and old fashioned washstands with Venetian mirrors.
