Bhutan House, Administrative estate in Kalimpong, India.
The Victorian-style complex contains over twelve rooms across two floors, with dark wood interiors and a detached kitchen connected by a bridge.
British India acquired the land in 1865 through the Treaty of Sinchula, following which the Dorji family constructed this estate to host the Thirteenth Dalai Lama.
The upper floor houses a family altar room and preserves the late Rani Chuni's chamber, displaying traditional Bhutanese furniture, woven materials, and cultural artifacts.
The grounds include landscaped lawns, a white chorten memorial, and a Buddhist temple, with the estate positioned to overlook the Relli River valley.
This estate served as the sole communication channel between Bhutan's government and the outside world due to the Dorji family's English language capabilities.
