Discover the Himalayas Before the World Does

Introducing Summit Samthar, an offbeat Himalayan destination wrapped in forests, open skies and Kanchenjunga views.

A Quieter Side of the Himalayas

Beyond the familiar hills of Darjeeling and Kalimpong lies a quieter side of the Himalayas, waiting to be discovered. Samthar, an offbeat destination in West Bengal, is approx. 80 km from Kalimpong, surrounded by lush forests, open skies and magnificent mountain views.

Summit Hotels & Resorts brings this hidden Himalayan escape into its Off Beat Collection, created for travellers who choose discovery over the obvious. At Summit Samthar, just 24 rooms open towards Kanchenjunga, bringing the Himalayas right outside your window for a stay that feels peaceful, intimate and deeply calm.

Explore the Unexplored. Stay Offbeat

This is not a place to rush through. It is a nature retreat in the Himalayas where doing less becomes the luxury, with no crowded sightseeing lists and no hurry. Just mountain air, forest silence and the freedom to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself. Because the best escapes aren't always the ones everyone knows. Sometimes, they are the ones you discover first.
