Queen of the Hills

Four rooms,
four namesakes

Darjeeling, known as the ‘Queen of the Hills,’ is famous for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture. With a rich tradition of music and a legacy of Hollywood actors originating from this charming town, Darjeeling exudes an artistic spirit.

Inspired by this cultural heritage, ‘Asraya’ homestay embraces a Hollywood theme, offering a unique and memorable experience amidst the beauty of the hills. Each of the four rooms carries the name of a performer with roots in these hills.
