Elevating the classic Bengali hill escape.

For generations, Kolkata has looked to the North for sanctuary. At Saffron & Spruce, we take this timeless obsession and weave it into ultra-premium boutique expeditions.

Skip crowded bus tours and shared itineraries. We explore the high Himalayas through private, heated 4x4 SUVs, staying in heritage bungalows closed to public booking. Whether it’s sipping freshly-plucked muscatel tea at Glenburn Estate or watching snow fall from a heated glass dome in Gulmarg, we combine rugged mountain adventure with cozy, warm comforts.

Endorsements from Kolkata's Discerning

"We had traveled to Darjeeling many times, but Glenburn Estate through Saffron & Spruce was a revelation. Chartering the heritage toy train for our family and having a champagne breakfast at Tiger Hill was unforgettable."

"Sikkim is rugged, but having a heated private tent at Lachen and a dedicated Fortuner with an expert driver made the high-altitude journey to Gurudongmar Lake stress-free and luxurious. Highly recommended."

"Kashmir in winter was a dream. Saffron & Spruce arranged a heated glass dome in Gulmarg, private ski instructors, and luxury heating blanket fittings. The hot saffron Kahwa served after skiing was a beautiful touch."
