Dawaipani Homestay

The Property

The resort is close to the town of Darjeeling; thus, it is easy to get to a variety of sites from here. Darjeeling – the queen of hills – has a wide range of tourist attractions, including the beautiful Tiger Hill viewpoint, a miniature train ride, mall area shopping, and the exquisite tasting of the world-famous Darjeeling tea.
The resort is also close to other communities like Lamhatta, Sittong (the “orange village”), Kalimpong, and others. Not only that, but you’re in for a treat because you’re surrounded by lush Himalayan greenery and, in the distance, snow-capped mountain peaks. Your lungs will appreciate you for the crisp fresh chilly air at a height of roughly 6500 feet.
This little hamlet provides a stunning view of Mt. Kanchenjunga (Sleeping Buddha), as well as a clear view of Namchi, West Sikkim (Chardham or Samdruptse), and a hazy view of Darjeeling. At night, the entire Darjeeling town resembles stars in a galaxy.
Dawaipani means ‘Medicated water’ in the native language, and the name is taken from the village’s local river (Khola). ). This community is surrounded by several well-known tea estates, including Glenburn Tea Estate, Lamahatta Tea Estate, Takdah Tea Estate, and lush green pine trees. This location will undoubtedly make you feel much more rejuvenated.

About Dawaipani

As you reach the village, our property is the first homestay. It’s a good way before the village, and it’s a little secluded from the rest of the people. It is constructed partially of brick and mortar and partially of wood. The rooms are comfortable and welcoming. It is a one-story construction. The dining hall and kitchen are adjacents, with the rooms on the opposite side.
In front of the homestay, there is a small lawn where you may sit and enjoy the scenery. The gorgeous mountains fill your field of vision during the day, and with the moonlight, it appears like you can reach out and touch the Kanchanjungha. It is one of the most lovely and magnificent feelings you have ever had.
