Hotel Silver
Oaks
Kalimpong

A heritage hotel at Kalimpong in the
Himalayas.
Hotel
Silver Oaks a member of Heritage Elgin Group. There can be only one
word to describe this mansion that reminds one of the leisurely ways
of an era not so long ago yet whose traces are difficult to come across
in today's maddening headlong rush towards modernity: "idyllic". 
Lounging in the well-kept garden that is a riot of colour all year round,
one is treated to a magnificent view. When the sky is clear, the imposing
peaks of the Kanchenjunga range can be spotted past the rolling blue
green hills, the bottom of one's frame of vision ablaze with blooming
petunias and asters , the serrated violet edges of iris, iridescent
butterflies fitting through multi-coloured azalias, drooping geraniums,
proud orchids, lavender camilias.it is heaven on earth. The bracing
mountain air adds to the flavours of the Darjeeling tea that you sip,
sitting in one of the quaint gazebos that dot the sloping gardens of
Silver Oaks.
The ground floor of the imposing building that is Silver Oaks today,
was built in the 1930s by a British jute magnate, who later sold it
to Fredrick Desraj, an architect and builder who also built the old
Teesta bridge. The present management extended the building and built
a first floor as a natural extension of the old style of architecture.
It is a building with more windows than walls, which allow the breathtaking
beauty of the great outdoors to fill the indoors with the light and
quiet energy prevalent all around. The only member of the Elgin Heritage
hotels in Kalimpong, Silver Oaks, rated a 4-star hotel, provides the
