The iconic Glenburn Tea Estate is located on a working tea plantation founded in 1859. This colonial-style hotel features eight charming rooms and is perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views of majestic, snow-capped peaks, including Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain. With a range of activities for the adventurous and beautifully landscaped gardens for those seeking relaxation, along with an abundance of tea to enjoy, Glenburn caters to every type of traveller.
The Suites at Glenburn are spread across two charming bungalows—the Burras and the Water Lily. Named after local flora and fauna, as well as notable sights like Kanchenjunga, these suites feature classic decor and furnishings, including antique bathtubs, fireplaces, stunning views, and exceptionally comfortable beds. Each balcony invites you to unwind with a pot of tea and watch time drift by. If you can tear yourself away from the breathtaking scenery, a variety of activities await, including immersive day-long tea experiences, hikes, bike rides, and excellent fishing in the nearby river, where you can catch the challenging Mahseer. Dining at Glenburn is truly exceptional, with everything from lavish breakfasts and high teas on the lawn to delightful picnics and fine dining under candlelight.
