Queen Smile Holidays

Queen Smile Holidays is up here in Darjeeling, specifically in the Hakimpara area on B.R. Das A.J.E. Bhattacharya Sarani. It’s a long name for a street, but everyone just calls it Hakimpara. The weather here is a lot better than down in the plains. Our office is small and we keep a heater going during the winter months. We focus on helping people see the sights around here. We know all the local drivers and which roads are blocked when the rain gets heavy. It’s not a corporate office with glass walls. We have wooden floors and the smell of tea is always around. Most of our day is spent answering questions about the toy train or the best spots to see the sunrise. Sometimes the mist comes right into the doorway and everything gets a bit damp. We have a few computers, but we still like using the landline to call the guest houses up the hill. My sister handles the accounts and I talk to the guests. We don’t have a big marketing team. Word of mouth is usually how people find us. We just try to be helpful and honest about what to expect when you visit. Darjeeling is a beautiful place, but it has its quirks, and we try to explain that to everyone who visits our little corner here. We hope people enjoy the mountains as much as we do.
