Perched on a hilltop amid pine plantations, the 38-room property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Eastern Himalayas, including Mount Kanchenjunga. Designed for travelers seeking seclusion and wellness, the retreat marks a strategic expansion of Summit’s “destination-led” mountain hospitality in the Northeast.
