Discover SpringHill

The Pure Gift of Springs

At SpringHill, the story of water is as timeless as the mountains themselves. Our natural springs once flowed freely through the land, offering crystal-clear water that nourished both people and fields. Guests who stayed here recall the unmatched purity of sipping directly from the source—a cool, refreshing taste of the Himalayas untouched by time. Though modern systems have since been added, the spirit of those springs still lingers, reminding every visitor that true refreshment comes not just from water, but from its journey through stone, soil, and the quiet embrace of nature.

Kanchenjunga at Your Window

At SpringHill, every room opens to the majesty of Kanchenjunga—the guardian peak of Sikkim. From dawn’s first blush to the golden glow of sunset, the mountain reveals a thousand moods, each more breathtaking than the last. Guests often wake to its snow-clad silence, sip tea while the ridges glow in morning light, and drift to sleep under its moonlit watch. It is more than a view—it is an ever-present companion, a reminder of the grandeur and serenity that define life in these mountains.

The Heart of Singyang

Life around SpringHill is enriched by the villagers of Singyang, whose warmth and traditions bring the land to life. Here, people still greet each day with simple rhythms—tending to fields, caring for animals, and sharing stories that have passed through generations. Their smiles carry the ease of mountain living, their customs reflect a deep bond with nature, and their hospitality makes every traveler feel like a welcome guest. To meet them is to glimpse the true spirit of Sikkim—quiet, rooted, and endlessly kind.

Whispers of Cardamom

SpringHill’s slopes are home to flourishing cardamom plantations, where guests can wander along shaded trails and see firsthand how Sikkim’s prized “green gold” is nurtured. The air carries a subtle spice-laden fragrance, and the sight of farmers tending the plants reflects traditions passed down through generations. For travelers, it’s both a sensory journey and a cultural encounter—an opportunity to understand how this delicate crop shapes local livelihoods while immersing in the quiet beauty of the plantation.

The Kiwi Garden

Tucked within SpringHill’s orchards lies a thriving kiwi garden, where vines heavy with fruit glisten under the mountain sun. Guests are invited to stroll through the trellised pathways, plucking fresh kiwis at harvest or simply savoring their fragrance in the cool air. This garden is more than just a source of fruit—it’s a glimpse into the farmstead’s living abundance, where every bite carries the crisp sweetness of the Himalayas and the care of hands that tend the land with love.

The Glasshouse Dining Experience

At SpringHill, dining is as much about the setting as it is about the food. Our all-glass dining hall opens to the skies, where every meal is shared with sweeping views of the Kanchenjunga rising above the clouds. From the glow of sunrise over the snow peaks to evenings filled with live music, handcrafted cocktails, and the warmth of a crackling fireplace, the ambiance is designed to be unforgettable. Rustic wooden floors ground the space in mountain charm, while modern comforts ensure ease and convenience. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast, a slow afternoon lunch, or a starlit dinner, each moment at the Glasshouse carries the flavors of both the Himalayas and the world—served with warmth, care, and a view that lingers long after the last bite.

Separate Vegetarian Section in Kitchen

At SpringHill, food is prepared with the same care as the land is tended. Our spacious, modern kitchen has a dedicated vegetarian section—crafted especially for guests who seek purity in every meal. Here, no flavors mingle, and every dish is prepared with authenticity, respect, and devotion to tradition. Fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs grown in our own fields come alive in recipes that celebrate simplicity and wholesomeness. For vegetarian travelers, this space is more than a kitchen—it is a promise of mindful dining, where every meal honors both the earth and your way of life.

Farm-to-Table Dining

At SpringHill, every meal begins in the fields and orchards that surround the farmstead. Fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, and herbs are handpicked from our own gardens, complemented by produce from local farmers who share the same respect for the land. Milk from the dairy, honey from the hills, and spices from our cardamom plantation find their way into the kitchen, ensuring that each dish carries the taste of the mountains—pure, wholesome, and full of life. Dining here is not just about food, but about experiencing the journey of ingredients from soil to plate.

Weather & Best Time to Visit

Pelling is a place where every season carries its own charm, offering travelers a different shade of the Himalayas each time they visit. From blooming flowers to snowy peaks, orchard harvests to clear mountain skies—SpringHill invites you to choose the season that speaks to your heart.

Spring (March to May)
The hills burst into color with rhododendrons and wildflowers in bloom. Orchards come alive with avocados, walnuts, and seasonal fruits, and the weather stays pleasantly cool—perfect for walks, treks, and exploration.

Summer (June to August)
While the plains swelter, Pelling remains refreshingly cool—often like a gentle winter. This season paints the slopes in lush green and brings misty, dreamlike views.

Autumn (September to November)
Clear skies open to uninterrupted views of the Kanchenjunga range. With crisp air and comfortable days, this is a favorite time for travelers who want both clarity and calm.

Winter (December to February)
Snow sometimes dusts the mountains, cherry blossoms brighten the cold, and orchards offer kiwi and passion fruit. For those who love the stillness of winter, this season is truly magical.

A Note on Seasons
Every season in Pelling carries its own rhythm and charm, but your experience may vary depending on what you seek. The monsoon months (June to August) bring heavy rain, mist, and lush greenery—beautiful yet less ideal for long drives or treks. Winters (December to February) can be magical with snowfall and crisp mountain air, but may feel too cold for those who prefer milder weather.

If you’re drawn to vibrant blooms, clear skies, and easy exploration, spring and autumn remain the most favored times to visit. Ultimately, each season has a story to tell—choose the one that resonates with yours.
