Reshi Calls...

With elections round the corner, anticipated change of guard at the Writers, and GJMM participating in the elections the political situation in the hills is expected to return to normalcy post elections. So dear visitors pack your bags and buckle up for a quick visit to "The Reshi Retreat and the Farmhouse" before monsoon sets in. Yesterday it snowed at Zuluk again and wow what a divine scene it was.

CONGRATULATIONS SUMI SCHOOL

The Reshi Retreat Farmhouse heartily congratulates SUMI School of Kalimpong for completing 125 glorious years of imparting education in the Darjeeling hills. We would like to wish the Principal and dedicated Staff of the institution a very best of future.
SUMI has been continuously sending their students to Reshi retreat for educational trip since 2005. 

Strikes a blessing in disguise.

Political uncertainty and a long lean period caused thereof in otherwise a busy tourist season has also been a blessing in disguise for "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse". Mani and his friends are working hard to remove all the stones and rocks on the west end of the farmhouse for a bit of landscaping.Future plans for a little garden and play space for children seem to be coming up faster than earlier planned. And thanks to these continuous strikes in the hills.

strike continues...

General strike called by GJMM  continues for third day. Hope all is going to be fine soon. We earnestly feel sorry for all our guests who had to change their plans because of these strikes. However "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse"  is always there to welcome you in days to come. Better Late(r) than never....
