Golden Orchid - The Lodge  

Perched in Darjeeling, just a five-minute walk from the iconic Chowrasta/Mall Road and close to the city centre. Family-owned, newly refurbished and popular with both backpackers and families.

Thirteen well-appointed rooms—singles, doubles, triples, quadruples and studios—feature attached bathrooms with 24-hour hot water and LED TVs with cable. The garden terrace has wall-to-wall glass and a transparent roof for sweeping Kanchenjunga views, and a cozy fireplace warms chilly evenings.

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, laundry, luggage storage and a tour desk keep stays effortless. Taxi and car rental services are available, and the hotel offers an on-site bar and karaoke room for relaxed nights. Wake up to fresh mountain air and expansive hill views from the terrace.

Free high-speed internet throughout the property and secure luggage storage make working on the go straightforward.

The Patio Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of local and international favourites made from seasonal local produce. Sip freshly ground organic coffee or the world‑renowned cup of Darjeeling at the café, then unwind at the bar after dinner.
