Roy Villa

A Darjeeling heritage house remembered as the place where Sister Nivedita died

Roy Villa is a heritage house in Darjeeling chiefly remembered for its connection with Sister Nivedita, the Irish disciple of Swami Vivekananda who died here in 1911. That association gives the building a quiet importance beyond its colonial-era architecture.

It is a niche stop, best for travelers interested in Bengal's reform movements, Ramakrishna-Vivekananda history, or Darjeeling's layered colonial past. Check local access before making a special trip, as heritage buildings here do not always operate like formal museums.
