 The Elgin Nor-Khill 

Gangtok's royal retreat

DAting back to 1934, Nor-Khill is a charming heritage hotel perched high in the Himalaya

The Elgin Nor-Khill is located in the heart of Gangtok and is a wonderful base from which to explore its ancient monasteries and surrounding pine forests and mountains. Its first owner was the Chogyal (King) of Sikkim in the 1930s and now, as a heritage hotel, it is packed with many original features and plenty of old-world charm. Expect oak floorboards, Burmese teak furniture and open fireplaces.

Why we love The Elgin Nor-Khill

  • The gardens are a feature of Nor-Khill and the king was often seen here painting the spectacular mountain scenery

  • The hotel is within walking distance of the famous M.G Road and its cafés, bars and restaurants

  • You will be following in the footsteps of royalty, celebrities and sports personalities who have also stayed here

  • We love the Sikkimese architecture which can be found throughout the property
