the Himalayas of Darjeeling, Sikkim, Nepal or Bhutan, then Himalayan Hotel

accommodation, warm and personalized service to the discerning travelers.
The hotel also offers excellent views of Kanchenjunga and the surrounding
mountain ranges which drop to the nearby Teesta and Rangit rivers.
The Himalayan is a commonplace name for a most exceptional place, no one was
there an hour in the inescapable community life of the place. It is a hotel

association with Himalayan history.
The great names of the region have all been guests here. It has been home to
Everest expeditions from the days of Mallory and Irving in the 1920's.
