I attended two TTC with Himalayan Bliss, one in february 2018 in Goa, one in April 2019 in Darjeeling. It's been one of the most life-changing experience I ever had. Sonam, Alisha, Tenzing, Vishnu, the whole HYB have been 100% present for the students. We've been warmly welcomed and supported the whole training. Each time someone nedded help, advises, support, they could openly talk and been listened from someone from the team. I new I was going to deepen my yoga practice, I had no idea I was going to find a family. The accommodation was really nice and comfortable, cosy rooms and nice appartments. The food was in both trainings was absolutely delicious and healthy, always prepared with love (and mantras :))! The quality of the lessons and classes were better that I could expect. We got the chance to understand better the yogi ancient tradition and philosophy. It was definitely a authentic way to approach Yoga. I am today a young yoga teacher, which has still so much to learn, but thank to HYB I can share with my students a authentic, beautiful, yogi tradition. Ella from France.

A beautiful and educational display on Tibetan culture. Includes artefacts given by the Dalai Lama, an informative exhibit of Tibetan Medicinal Herbs, several detailed dioramas, a photo essay of the current Dalai Lama, and a fabulous Sand Painting, which I was told created by a delegation from Dharamsala that offers a blessing to all who view it.

At Happy Valley respect for nature is expressed through the organic and bio-dynamic method of farming. Happy Valley invites you to immerse yourself in the culture, history and tradition of the region by witnessing the process by which fresh tea leaves are withered, rolled, fermented, dried, sorted and graded to produce a variety of teas; the traditional black tea, green tea and the exquisite speciality teas. A guided tour of the Happy Valley tea factory offers visitors a glimpse of the fascinating process of manufacturing tea. The tea tasting session, curated for first-timers, is conducted at the end of the tour, where one can discover the legendary flavour of Happy Valley organic Darjeeling teas.

This 1854 estate on the northwest edge of town is a good place to learn about tea, especially when plucking and processing are in progress (March to November). An employee guides you through the aromatic factory and its withering, rolling, fermenting and drying processes, explaining how green, black and white teas all come from the same leaf, and you'll get to taste a few varieties. A free shuttle van for visitors runs from Bhanu Bhawan in town from 9.30am.

Following the dramatic escape of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, thousands of fellow Tibetan came to India and establised a Tibetan Carpet manufacturing workshop in 1959 to support their livelihood in India. All the carpets are made of organic materials and all the carpets are hand-made. You can design your own carpet too!
