Come visit one of the oldest tea plantations in and around the hills of Darjeeling, East India. Ging Tea House offers the luxuries of a hotel while maintaining the warmth and comfort of a home. Built in 1864, legend has it that The Tea House was one of the first colonial tea planter’s bungalows made in the region. The house which has been tastefully restored keeping its colonial heritage intact, is admirably classic in style.
Spoil yourself with the luxurious bed teas, take a walk along the picturesque greenery and soak in the sunrise at Tiger Hill. Escape the hustle- bustle of ordinary city life to unwind and reconnect with nature.
