Lowis Jubilee Complex

A government tourist complex on Dr S. K. Pal Road, run under the GTA. Plain rooms at modest rates in a quieter part of town, a sensible choice for groups and families who want a government tariff and do not mind a walk to the Mall.

Lowis Jubilee Complex is one of the government tourist properties of the Darjeeling hills, on Dr S. K. Pal Road. It is the kind of place hill families and school groups have used for years: large, plain, and priced to government norms rather than to the view. Rooms are simple, linen is clean, and the setting is calmer than the hotels around Chowk Bazaar. It is also handy for the Lebong side of town and the road down towards Happy Valley tea garden.

Because it is not right on the Mall, you will walk more or take short taxi hops, so factor that in with older travellers. In return, rates tend to be lower than central private hotels in peak season. Ask about heating, hot water and meals when you book. Tariffs and booking methods for GTA properties change, so check current status before you travel. Groups should confirm the number of rooms and beds in writing a few days before arrival.

Why we suggest it

  • Government tariffs, useful in peak weeks
  • Quieter part of town than the market area
  • Suits groups and families booking several rooms

Questions people ask

Good to know

Where is Lowis Jubilee Complex in Darjeeling?

On Dr S. K. Pal Road, away from the busiest part of the market. It is a walk or a short taxi ride from Chowrasta and the Mall, depending on your pace. The calmer position suits groups and families, but older travellers should plan short taxi hops for the uphill stretches at the end of the day.

Who manages Lowis Jubilee Complex?

It is a government tourist property now managed under the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), along with lodges such as Maple Tourist Lodge and Jorepokhri Tourist Lodge. Booking is usually by phone or through the GTA tourism office in Darjeeling. Methods change from year to year, so check current status before you travel.

Is Lowis Jubilee Complex good for a school or college group?

It is one of the better fits in town. Government complexes like this have more rooms of a plain, practical kind and modest fixed tariffs, which makes a group booking simpler than splitting across private hotels. Book well ahead for October and the summer holidays, and confirm meals in advance.
