The Elgin Mount Pandim 

A royal Himalayan retreat

The Elgin Mount Pandim was first owned by Sikkim’s royal family and has an enviable position overlooking the snow-capped mountains of the Himalaya.

The hotel regularly hosts celebrities, heads of state and royalty who love the serenity of its location and its close proximity to the Pemayangtse Monastery. There are plenty of treks to explore the surrounding forests and mountains and it is a wonderful place for bird watching with rufous-gorgeted flycatcher and green-tailed sunbirds some of the colourful species found here. After exploring the mountains, you may wish to view them from the comfort of the massage table in the hotel’s spa. Some of the traditions of The Elgin's royal heritage are still maintained with high tea served with home-made cakes and pastries on the lawn.
