Description from owner
Description
Auks farm in Soreng Darjeeling is a tribute to the black and white flightless bird 'The Great Auk' that became extinct in the mid 19th century by human cruelty and carelessness. Only by learning the story, can we learn how and why species become extinct.
Its is an ideal location to relax and unwind. Sit and watch the clouds roll over the mountains. Go angling on the riverside or take a leisurely walk along the local forests. Our natural eco friendly cabins and tents are cozy, comfortable and quiet. You are also welcome to try a hand at our Organic farm!
Guests will be able to stroll around the farm to enjoy our dining and recreation area and use the kitchen if they prefer cooking their own meals.
Soreng is famous for its Citrus plantation and Orange orchards. This agriculturally prosperous region is surrounded by the green hills of Kalimpong, Sikkim and Darjeeling. A hundred year old Monastery at Takling is a perfect place for hikers . You will enjoy Bird watching here and in Tinchuley. Our more adventurous guests can also take the adventure of River Rafting at Teesta . Tea lovers can visit the wonderful Rungliot Tea Gardens and the beautiful nurseries nearby.
A guided tour for local sights and sounds can be arranged. Costs will be based on Vendor rates.

Do not pluck the flowers and plants. ☺
Garbage to be strictly thrown in the bins. :)
Use water and energy sparingly – we are deep in the mountains and resources are all laboured by the locals and are scant.
We occasionally experience power cuts and we can only heat water for you in a gas stove or wood fire. So please bear with us
