Welcome to Gorubathan Tea Estate Bungalow!
Just 1 hour 30 minutes by car from New Jalpaiguri (NJP) Railway Station, tucked away from the typical tourist trails of Darjeeling and Dooars, lies a timeless retreat — a heritage wooden bungalow from the British colonial era, cradled by endless emerald tea gardens.
As you turn off the busy NH routes and wind your way through narrow country lanes shaded by tall acacia and pine, the first glimpse of the bungalow feels like stepping into a forgotten chapter of history. Built more than a century ago during the British Raj, this colonial-era wooden tea planter’s bungalow stands proudly amidst rolling lawns and manicured tea bushes, a living testament to the architectural grace and rustic charm of an age long past.
The bungalow’s broad verandahs with carved wooden pillars, wide shuttered windows, and polished floorboards reflect the elegance of a bygone era — a place where British planters once sipped afternoon tea while watching cool morning mists curl up from the tea slopes.
Inside, antique furniture — teak wooden wardrobes, wicker chairs, and period lamps — create an ambience that is both nostalgic and welcoming. The gentle creak of the floorboards beneath your feet and the soft whisper of wind through the tea bushes become the soundtrack of your stay. Whether you’re curling up with a book by the fireplace or stepping out onto the terrace with a steaming cup in hand, every moment here feels unhurried and richly peaceful.
