This guesthouse lies in the heart of the tourist quarter of Darjeeling, close to Chowrasta Square. Darjeeling's shopping centre is a 20-minute walk away.

This establishment, for which the term resort is rather misleading, offers its guests the best value in the city. A steep, athletic climb will bring guests to Hawke's Nest, the colonial bungalow with its commanding position over the town, now re-named Dekeling Resort.

Prayer flags flutter around the 120 year old 2-storey building with its green roof and bay windows. This air-conditioned country house with its suites offers guests simple comfort and effortless charm with limitless privacy. Meals are served in a dining room.

The rooms come with an en suite bathroom, and are equipped with a satellite/ cable TV and an iron and ironing board.

Double beds are available in the upper rooms. The accommodation is spacious and attractively fitted with wooden floors, hand-carved, antique dressers, Tibetan rugs, light, floral fabrics and charming fireplaces. The bathrooms benefit from plenty of natural light and are fitted with large, wide-spray showers.

Breakfast and homemade dishes are served in the intimate dining room. The obliging staff are also happy to bring meals to your room.
