Queens HILL resort is kinda surprise package. Located at far end of Mirik village( or is it a town?) ... one does not really expect this kind of luxury and flamboyance in a lesser travelled place like MIRIK. Our stay ( a small detour ; on way to Bhutan) was extremely pleasant, enjoyable and very satisfying . After some initial haggling at front office, we were granted a splendid deal. A vast rooftop overlooking the Mirik lake came as a bonus. Clear weather, lush greenery, endearing lil hill sounds made up our evening among cushioned swings and rainbow umbrellas most memorable. The sunset melted into a starry night and a sharp spell of sudden showers made us move into the restaurant. The place is quite well done with regional arts and crafts adorning the premises giving an ethnic look to the interiors, Dinner was served pronto and needless to say , it was impeccable. Rooms and facilties are great.... best part is the seclusion and insulation from city market and related grime and noise. Recommemded as a 2 night stay to all fellow travellers as an individual destination. Plenty to do. Or just sit back on the terrace and soak in the landscape amongst chirping birds, splash of the lake waters, short hikes down the mist laden tea estates and imbibe the north bengal sub-tibetan culture. I personally found MIRIK way better, peaceful, serene and every bit exhilirating as compared to bustling towns of Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Gangtok.
