Darjeeling
The queen of hills, Darjeeling sits pretty amidst tea plantations and faces the mighty Kangchendzonga. November is a great time to be there, the air is crisp, the Sun warm and the snow views crystal clear. There is a visit to the picturesque village of Pokhriabong close to the Nepal border and also one to a Tea plantation.

One of the best Colonial Hotels in the World (Sunday Times of London), its situated atop the Observatory hill and bang in the middle of Darjeelings cultural and social hub: the Chowrasta. The impeccable rooms, food and service dates back to the British-era and is one of the best preserved legacies. The afternoon tea is a delight.

Making a contribution:
All CWH trips are run with the underlying philosophy of making a contribution to the place and people where we go for our holidays. This time we will be supporting Riverdale, a school and orphanage, based in the nearby village of Pokhriabong and run by a native girl, Smrithi, and involved in spreading awareness about saving the forests and pangolins, an ant eater. A day trip to this pretty village and time spent with the kids will be the highlight of the trip. You can sponsor a child or make a contribution in any other way. More details: http://riverdaletimes.blogspot.com/ P.S: During our April 2011 retreat the group sponsored yearly education and food for 10 kids.

Feedback from 2011 April Darjeeling wellness retreat attendees

Pushing my limits was fun. RD is always flawless in her subject. The visit to Pokhriabong was the highlight. Plz do let me know about the next one ASAP. That says it all. Shehzeen Siddique Rujuta has a wonderful way of imparting her vast knowledge and expertise. Windamere as the venue is outstanding. Didnt want to leave. A perfectly structured and organized retreat. Soni Razdan, Actress For a person like me who is passionate about food, in every sense the holistic approach that we were made aware of kind of just summed the divinity that I feel for food and way of life. Pooja Dholakia, Ad maker I was overwhelmed with all that I gained. Everything appeared so casual that one was not made to realize how much effort was put to every small thought out detail.
