In a corner of heaven, surrounded by the canopied forests of Pangthang in Gangtok, the luxury mountain retreat, Taj Guras Kutir Resort & Spa is blessed with the breathtaking Eastern Himalayan Range in front, lush wilderness below, oxygen-rich air all around and the grace of Sikkim within.
Lush, pristine, and unspoilt, this is what one imagines mystical Sikkim to be all along. From the comfort of the luxury mountain retreat you step down into interpretive treks, gentle streams and meditative paths that lead you to 69 well-appointed spacious rooms and suites. Always accompanied by surreal views, crisp mountain air and exotic flora including the Guras, otherwise known as the Rhododendron. The best spot to take it all in is the gorgeous deck that catches every mood and whim of the revered Kangchenjunga right in front.
Dining across the Machan, Soi & Sake and Guras Bar & Lounge is an elevated experience with enchanting views and menus that range from the local classics to Pan-Asian fare. The resort is geared for thought retreats and board meets with a banquet hall and sophisticated meeting spaces.
Interpretive experiences include the butter lamp ceremony, enriching village treks, offsite dining & experiences like the Teen Jhuri trek and Holistic Signature Therapies at the spa that showcase the vibrant culture and grace of Sikkim. Trips and excursions include the visit to Nathula, the mountain pass on the Indo-China border and enroute, the stunning, almost vitrified Tsomgo lake. Nathu la located on the old Silk Route, 4267 mtr up offers visitors mesmerizing view of Chumbi valley of Tibet, guarded by mountains. For the spiritual seekers, what’s most recommended is a trip to Rumtek monastery, Sikkim’s largest and built in the mid-18th century.
Spiritually elevating and culturally conscious, this is where some will find their mountain, as they say. And most will discover a corner of heavenly Sikkim!
