Thanks a lot. This is a very useful info. There is definitely as dearth of good hotels with an amazing view and parking as a combo in Darjeeling. Quote:

Thanks Abhi. The last line you wrote is among one of the most humble lines I ever came across! Quote:

Route to Geetkhola seemed steep at places during the turns. WBFDC Banani is the better-located property at Murti in my opinion, but the WBTDC place is undoubtedly more posh.

Thanks a lot. A stay in Samabeong is worth it. I was with my parents, else one can try out the scenic trail walks through the tea estates. They will provide a guide with you.
Regarding Geet Khola, though it's doabale with a 2wd, I will suggest not to venture with a 2wd. Even if it rains a bit, a 2wd will face difficulty in climbing up.
Yes, I agree, the location of Banani is any-day better. Quote:

Thanks Golam da. And thanks again for this pointer. I was not aware of it. Will try this for sure, during my next visit. Eagerly waiting for your Arunachal travelogue to come up! Quote:
