Siliguri would certainly stake a claim on
The ‘grotto-like dining room at Biksthang Heritage Farm- its owner, who owns eight more hotel
house
With great pride he took us all around the
property, pointing out each tree and plant,
tramping over original cobbled stones
which would need a heavy pair of shoes

traditional as well as Western style. It is an
experience not to be missed.
I am not sure if ratings of hotels can go up

would need another chapter to talk about
the grandeur of this modern palace. Suffice
to say, that not only the hotel, but even
properties, left his lasting impression on
us, whist taking us around the Director’s
lounge housing rare antiques and artifacts.

Am wondering if we should now change
our mindset about tramping around
Europe and stick to exploring the bounties
of nature of our own country. So ….
Kashmir here we come! Or may be Kerala
…. Or ….
Jai Hind!
