Why we decided to build Nirvana Retreat

Arijit is a retired senior corporate executive with over 30 years in Unilever across the world and Lata is a Reiki Master & Art of Living practitioner.

All our lives we had a dream of someday creating that “perfect” place away from the bustle of the big city which would be our second home once we retired. Having lived in 4 countries (apart from India) over the last 20 years & travelled deeply to over 50 others we have been very influenced by different cultures and our own life experiences.

We have always wanted to build from the foundation a holistic experience that would combine the best of nature with what we believe is a home of truly international standards.

We love mountains for their pristine, natural, unpolluted quality and their bracing weather and have always wanted a mountain home.

At the same time, we wanted to have a place which was not too far from a big city with good air, road & rail connectivity but still in the midst of nature.

Our search for the perfect location started in 2012 and after seeing multiple locations we settled on our dream location.

Our home is in the Himalayan foothills of Darjeeling district close to the town of Kurseong known for its world famous tea and its breathtaking views of the Himalayas. We are 1300 feet above Kurseong town at 6191 feet surrounded by reserve forests on 3 sides and with an unhindered breathtaking view of the majestic Kanchenjunga range.

With 8 bedroom suites & 3 extensive gardens surrounded by the Kanchenjunga & a Himalayan reserve forest we would love to share our piece of paradise with you.

We call it Nirvana Retreat and would love to invite you to share in our joy and enjoy the blissful bounty of nature. Time truly stands still at Nirvana Retreat and we can promise you an experience like no other.
