Sittong Retreat

Sittong Retreat sits quietly amid the tranquil slopes of Upper Galaytar in Sittong, surrounded by the lush Simring Tea Garden and crisp mountain air. This homely hillside escape is all about slow mornings, birdsong, and uninterrupted views of the Eastern Himalayas. On clear days, you can gaze at the snow-kissed Kanchenjunga range glowing softly at sunrise and sunset, a sight that turns each day into a postcard moment. The location offers the dual advantage of privacy and easy reach. Tucked away from heavy tourist crowds yet accessible by motorable road, it’s an inviting base for both laid-back stays and active exploration. Ample parking on the property lets you arrive stress-free, whether you come in your own vehicle or by hired cab. Nature lovers will find plenty to discover around Sittong. Dense green trails and village paths begin almost at the doorstep, inviting unhurried walks through orange orchards (in season), terraced fields, and tea gardens. Close by, Bagora Forest lures walkers and birdwatchers with its tall trees and cool, shaded paths. A short drive away, Ahaldara View Point offers sweeping panoramas of layered hills and, when the weather permits, a majestic view of Kanchenjunga floating above the clouds. For a touch of mystique, Namthing Pokhri Lake lies hidden amidst pines and rolling meadows, perfect for a quiet stroll and photography. Culture and history enthusiasts can head to Mungpoo Rabindra Museum, once a retreat for Rabindranath Tagore, now a charming space that preserves his memories and connection with the hills. Evenings at Sittong Retreat are best spent relaxing under a sky full of stars, breathing in the cool mountain breeze. Whether you are planning a family holiday, a quiet couple’s escape, or a friendly getaway, this hillside stay combines serene surroundings, mountain views, and practical reachability into a restful, memorable experience in rural West Bengal.
