“Taj Chia Kutir offers a compelling option near Darjeeling, particularly for those prioritizing on-site amenities and a relaxed pace. The extensive spa and multiple dining choices stand out, providing a self-contained experience enhanced by valley views. In my opinion, the resort excels as a tranquil retreat with reliable service, more so than as a base for extensive regional exploration.”
