The Orchid Retreat is a family operated Home Hospitality Guest House. We are situated in Kalimpong, in the Darjeeling Himalayas. We provide simple and clean lodgings in serene surroundings with wholesome home cooked meals.

We were not aware that there were so many different species of birds visiting our garden. Of course, birds have always been an integral part of our garden and forest area but we did not see them as a serious attraction for a specific group of hobbyist called "bird watchers". It all started when Mr. Sumit Sen came and stayed at the Orchid Retreat with his family. Sumit, we found out, is an expert on birds of the Indian subcontinent. He hosts www.kolkatabirds.com and frequently visits far flung areas in the eastern Himalayas and the Northeast region of India.
