I had recently stayed in this property alongwith my family. The resort is not exactly in Kalimpong, but a further 20 km drive from Kalimpong in a quiet hill town called Pedong. The resort took us totally by surprise with its pristine surroundings, well laid out cottages, out of the world food and an amazing service. Talking about their service,... More

My husband, our two-yr- old daughter and I spent this Holi-Easter long weekend at Pedong. I had booked online in January, and the entire process was seamless till closure of the trip.

The hotel manager was great. She personally catered to all our needs. The staff was responsive and friendly. The place was quiet and peaceful. The food was the best throughout our trip. Their chef knew his business alright. We were on a romantic getaway and Silk Route provided all of it - including a candle-lit dinner on Valentine's day. We... More

Bidhan acharya was expecting us, a group of people out for exploring pedong as an off beat country side place to visit while in darjeeling. We were the happy visitors of a hill station soaking in the beautiful scenery along with bits of reality that we would not have otherwise bothered to look up. Well, ya bidhan, the wonderfully friendly... More

The Silk Route Retreat is a unique experience. It is isolated and serves as a great option for busy city people who want to be close to nature and cut off from the outside world. There are several small cottages for guests to choose from. The ambiance is quite rustic. The staff is very helpful and go out of the... More
