Brief:

Taj Chia Kutir Resort and Spa is a true exotic haven, embodying luxury at its barefoot best, situated amidst the perma-cultural Makaibari Tea Estate in Kurseong, Darjeeling, founded in 1859.
Nestled within the world’s first tea factory, established in the age of empires, Makaibari holds a prestigious reputation as the first fully organic tea garden certified in 1988. This heritage adds a unique charm to the resort.
Darjeeling, located in the Lesser Himalayas at an elevation of 6700 feet, offers a rarefied air and breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga, the world’s third tallest mountain. The region’s hegemony over prized teas makes it a paradise for tea enthusiasts.
The resort seamlessly blends into the lush tea estate, surrounded by green acres that roll as far as the eye can see, accompanied by the enchanting mist. The crisp and fresh air mirrors the quality of Makaibari second flush tea, the most expensive Indian tea ever traded at $1850 per kg.
Makaibari practices regenerative and community-focused approaches, integrating the garden and home concept to minimize environmental impact. The resort exudes an atmosphere where birds chirp happily, and the earth’s fragrance is delightful.
The resort’s architecture incorporates bamboo, timber, and stones, capturing the essence of Makaibari in a contemporary design. The lobby, a high-roofed structure, welcomes golden sunlight, creating a warm ambiance. Terracotta walls inspired by the Bishnupur temple add a regional touch.
Featuring 72 spacious rooms and plantation suites with wooden interiors, telescopic views, and balconies, the resort offers a hill station estate experience. Restaurants with their own perch serve seasonal, provincial, and small-farm produce, along with a diverse range of Asian and international cuisines.
The resort is an ideal retreat for leadership meetings, destination weddings, and relaxation, offering airy spaces, meeting rooms, an all-glass bar with a captivating view, and facilities like the J Wellness Circle and an indoor heated pool for healing and wellness.
Adventure awaits outside with forest treks and tea trails, allowing guests to explore the misty magic and mystique of Makaibari. Taj Chia Kutir Resort and Spa promises a journey into luxury, heritage, and the natural wonders of Darjeeling.
