discover the real Darjeeling
Chota Poobong is a village situated between Sukhiapokhri and Ghoom in the northern end of West
Bengal, India.
From the main road near Ghoom, Chhota Poobong is around 3.5 km and Poobong resort is
about 5 km rough road down towards the village. It’s a picturesque winding road through pine
trees and giant ferns. If you are lucky on a cloudy or foggy day, you will drive through a curtain of
mist all the way. But don’t worry, the road is safe. So is the resort. It is ideal for a family or group
of like minded friends.
From NJP or Bagdogra drive down to Ghoom and reach Poobong Phatak (gateway to Poobong). The resort vehicle will pick you up (chargeable basis). The rough road is getting repaired and from June 2019 onwards one can drive down straight to the resort. We can also arrange pick up from NJP or Bagdogra on request (chargeable basis). For local tours in and around Darjeeling vehicles can be arranged on request.
Breakfast is complimentary. Other meals are chargeable at the rate of Rs, 500/- per person. The rates can vary slightly at different seasons. There are set menu options. Since this is little far away from the town guests are requested to inform their meal requirements well in advance. Our staffs live far away in the villages; hence guests are requested to take early dinner (around 8 PM) if they want their food served hot.

This is not a hotel, so you may not get the same amenities and luxury such as Wifi, 24X7 room service etc that you are used to enjoy in a 5 star hotel in a city. Instead enjoy the luxury of breathing fresh air, watching sky full of stars at night or listening to singing of birds or wake up to the golden mellow sun rays kissing you in the morning.
