Deluxe Valley Room
Queen bed · 2 guests
Our larger room — wood-panelled with a queen bed, hand-knitted throws and a window framing the misty pine valley.




Three rooms, one long dining table, hosts who remember your name.
Born-and-raised guides on every trek — safe, slow and story-rich.
Private tastings at first-flush estates that don't open to the public.
We plan around your pace and the weather — not a fixed itinerary.

Queen bed · 2 guests
Our larger room — wood-panelled with a queen bed, hand-knitted throws and a window framing the misty pine valley.

Twin beds · 2 guests
Our cosy smaller room — an attic loft under a slanted timber roof with handwoven blankets, a reading nook and prayer flags at the window.

King + sofa bed · 4 guests
Our largest room — a heritage suite with a working fireplace, Tibetan rug and tall windows opening onto Kanchenjunga on a clear morning.

MountTea Stays is the latest chapter on this hillside — founded by Salil Chetri with a small, hand-picked crew that runs the place like family (without the awkward dinners). Expect long conversations over chai, playlists curated by the host, and a Darjeeling itinerary built around your pace, not a brochure.

“We arrived strangers and left as part of the family. The momos by the fireplace and the 5 AM Kanchenjunga wake-up call will stay with us forever.”
“Pema planned a Sandakphu trek that fit our pace exactly. Beautiful little tea-houses, brilliant guides and the safest hands we could have asked for.”
“The Heritage Suite is unreal — fireplace crackling, mountains in the window, and the kindest hosts in the hills. Already booked for next October.”
Tell us when you'd like to come up. We'll plan the rest — slowly, by hand.
