Roy Villa, Heritage building on Lebong Cart Road, Darjeeling, India

Roy Villa stands as a four-story structure near Tenzing Rock, featuring traditional architectural elements with mountain views from each level.

The property, initially owned by Dwarakanath Roy, became the final residence of Sister Nivedita, who spent 242 days there between 1903 and 1911.

This villa served as a meeting point for Indian intellectuals, including scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose and educational pioneers of the early 20th century.

Visitors can reach the villa through the main road from Darjeeling Railway Station, with regular transportation options available throughout the day.

The West Bengal Heritage Commission transferred the villa to Ramakrishna Mission in 2013, establishing it as a center for educational and cultural programs.
