Banabas homestay is located near Burdawan Palace. A place where Maharaj chose to build his Palace for its scenic beauty and and proximity to the town.
Banabas homestay is close to Darjeeling town yet away from hustle and bustle of town. One can see beautiful view of Mount Kanchenjunga and 360 ° view of Darjeeling town.
A friendly neighbourhood which is totally safe for the tourist to reside. A heritage palace nearby and walk in distance to famous Ava Art gallery, Victoria falls. A trek to Arya tea garden and Sidrabong hydle power project (Asia's first hydle power project) can be done if interested.
