Prasant Gurung
Originally, a summer palace of the Maharajahs from Burdwan Kingdom of Northern India, Burdwan Palace (Rani Koti) Residency is an exclusive gate-away for travelers seeking tranquility and scenic natural beauty with provisions for all modern amenities. Built during the 18th Century and self- renowned for its own marvelous architectural beauty which was once included as a major site scene point in Darjeeling, the Rani Koti Residency is ideally located next to the grand Palace Dome away from the hustle and bustle of modern routine. Situated in the local village of Rajbari, the name itself originating from the Maharajahs residing in the place, the Rani Koti Residency offers an environment of elite seclusion with a beautiful garden inhabited by rare Himalayan birds perfect for serene vacation retreats. Presenting the view of the entire Darjeeling town with the mighty Kanchenjunga on the backdrop, the property is accessible by car and is about 15 minutes drive from the center. An abode once dwelled by the Rajahs, Maharajahs and great soul Swami Vivekananda, don’t miss this rare opportunity of being part of the History of Darjeeling and making it a perfect family holiday retreat.
Burdwan Palace Rani Kothi is a homestay hosted by Mr. Prasant Gurung who has a casual approach of manging things but in a very efficient manner and makes you feel very much at home away from home.
Kindly note that Burdwan Palace (Rani Kothi) Residency is located in Rajbari which is about 15-20 minutes drive from the main town.
