Perched on a hill slopes at over 3000ft at a distance of 35kms from Siliguri Selim Hill gives an excellent view of the river valleys of Balason and Tista along with a glimpse of Kunchenjungha Massif over the Kurseong Town. This is also a nice place for viewing sunrise and sunset.

The garden produces one of the finest qualities of orthodox tea and is regarded as a Biodynamic garden and is a good study center for tea processing. The garden also provides a good opportunity for short forest and village hikes, birding and experiencing the famous 150 years old Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) from Tindharia and Gayabari.
