Elgin heritage group of hotels in the state of Sikkim in
eastern Himalayas at Gangtok, known for its traditions,
unchanged characteristics and ethnic Sikkimese ambiance. You
are welcome as royal guests at The Nor-Khill or in Sikkimese,
the house of jewels. What is now the Kanchan Garden used to
be a favourite vantage point of the Chogyal of Sikkim. The
panoramic view of the lush green hills and the Kanchenjunga
in the background, inspired him to paint for hours in the
gardens of The Nor-Khill.
The imposing lobby is resplendent in the bright and bold
colours of the folk art that adorn its walls. From the lucky
design motifs depicting dragons and flame symbols, to the
thankas or wall hangings, the ornate bachu and chocsue, or
center and side tables, the regal look of the yesteryears
have been proudly preserved. An in-house curio shop sells
traditional artifacts and jewellery. Come, indulge yourself
to the best Sikkim has to offer. Grace The Nor-Khill. |
