11 Monteviot: Luxury homestay overlooking a tea estate - Home Stay in Montiviot Tea Garden - Darjeeling, India

We spent three days in this beautiful and cosy homestay nestled in the hills overlooking a tea Estate. The location is absolutely fantastic with scenic views and the property is so very pretty. Rooms are beautiful, equipped with modern furniture and large windows offering views of the lush greenery. The warm hospitality of the owners is one of the best things about this place. We were very well taken care of and we thoroughly enjoyed our Darjeeling tea sessions over conversations, the fresh, home cooked food and of course our time with the very playful and friendly Mowgli. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to going back again. This place is highly recommended for someone looking for a laid back and relaxed holiday in the hills.

We reached Monteviot after a very hectic trip from sandakphu. To add to that, I was also unwell and this place proved therapeutic to us. From the minute we stepped in, we were greeted by the adorable Mowgli who is perhaps the friendliest gsd ever! Warm, home cooked lunch was kept ready for us as was a lovely personal note. Rooms are spacious, functional and very tastefully decorated. Ishika's food is marvellous (special mention - momos ,thukpa and her amazing chicken curry). There are beautiful walking paths around the house if you would like that! A view of Kanchenjunga can be seen from the room at sunrise too! Tuhina and Parimal ji are very affable hosts and helped us out with places to explore, a car, what to try etc! We are surely coming back again!

A home away from home doesn't quite capture the true essence of this place. When we arrived here for just a day, little did we know that the four-day experience would leave an indelible mark on us. It was nothing short of a life-changing journey. The beauty of this place defies description, and the warmth of its people surpasses it even further. During our stay, we became so engrossed in the surroundings that we forgot about the outside world. The hospitality of the house staff was exceptional, and their culinary skills were beyond compare. "Delicious" falls short in describing the flavors of their Nepalese thali; we simply couldn't get enough of it. Moreover, the room offered an awe-inspiring view of the valley and the tea plantations-draped mountains. Each morning, the gentle light seeping through the glass windows greeted us with a sense of peace and serenity. Our host, Parimal uncle, a true tea connoisseur, became more than just a host to us. Over these four days, a deep bond of friendship formed, and we engaged in long conversations about the place, the history of his ancestral house, his incredible experiences in the tea estate, his family, and so much more, all while savoring endless cups of tea and glasses of wine in the evenings. He now holds a place in our hearts, almost like a father figure. No words can fully capture the emotions we felt during our stay here. We depart with heavy hearts, but with a promise to return soon for an extended stay, and perhaps even explore the idea of setting up our studio nearby someday. This home has become an integral part of our hearts, and we carry this profound attachment safely within us, cherishing it for a lifetime. P.S. If you are a dog person, be prepared to fall in love with Mowgli.

What a fabulous homestay! Wonderful hosts, lovely room and setting. Tunhina led us in two yoga sessions on the deck which were memorable. Plenty of recommendations of walks and things to do. We had a truely great stay!

One of the best experiences I have ever had. Visited this Homestay with my hubby. First we were a bit sceptical about a Homestay since it was our first. But, the moment we stepped in, Tuhina aunty welcomed us with all her warmth. Parimal uncle is a charmer. He is so positive and kind and is always ready to help whenever we needed. He taught a lot of tea brewing techniques and made us his special Darjeeling tea and green tea, and also gifted us his hand-picked tea leaves. Ishika made us awesome lunch and dinner. And how can we forget Mowgli? He made our stay special and we miss him so much. Can't wait to visit 11, Montviot again with my in-laws. It was a trip that will stay in my heart forever.

Recently I visited 11 Monteviot with my family. Its a beautifully maintained place with lots of greenery around. We got a very warm welcome from Tuhina ma'am and Parimal sir. A special mention about Mowgli, the Alsatian who kept us entertained during our stay there. We especially was impressed with the variety of plants in the kitchen garden and we got fresh homecooked food which was delightful. So if you are looking for an escape from the madding crowd and a tranquil place to relax head to 11 Monteviot for sure bliss.

C'est l'endroit parfait pour faire une pause en allant ou en revenant de Darjeeling. L'endroit est calme, propre, et magnifique. Le service excellent et la nourriture delicieuse est preparee avec les legumes du jardin.

I love everything about this homestay. I think at Kurseong one can't find a better location than this homestay. The room we stayed in was not only luxurious but the outside view of nature was also luxurious !! The homestay is so well placed amidst nature and with so many big windows and balconies we felt like we slept in the lap of nature, it's such a magical experience !! Food is also excellent, home grown and organic. We tried their family recipe Vegetable gratin and we just loved it !! How can I forget the taste of their homemade jam and the exquisite aroma of Darjeeling tea they offered us. The owners were very lovely and welcoming. We had a memorable and enriching tea table conversation. We never felt like we were talking to strangers. We felt like a home away from home. Last but not the least, how can I forget their 2 years old playful GSD. Mowgli. This naughty kid can steal anybody's heart :) We stayed for one night only but we have come with lots of sweet experiences. We will visit this Homestay again.
