Glenburn Tea Estate is a 150 year old plantation house, situated on a small hilltop in a valley above the River Rungeet and close to Darjeeling, sits in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,700m and is overlooked by Mount Kanchenjunga. Surrounded by 1,000 acres of private forest and the working tea estate, the main bungalow has a wonderful long veranda with comfortable chairs running along the front. Inside is an English-style sitting room and dining room and, in the gardens, a small pavilion, the perfect place for lunch, tea or dinner. Glenburn consists of six bedrooms and suites, each one individually designed with timbered ceilings and a private entrance. The real delight, however, at Glenburn is the utterly charming Prakash family who own and run this estate.
