A look around

What's here

The first thing you notice is the view. From the outdoor seating area, a wide valley opens up, with a range of mountains just beyond. The home is a series of simple, clean cottages with green tin roofs, set along a path lined with orchids and succulents. Prayer flags flutter in the mountain air. Inside, the property has 12 private rooms, each with its own attached bathroom. The rooms are straightforward and clean, with wood-panelled walls, king-sized beds, and cozy blankets for the cool nights. The bathrooms are fitted with modern fixtures and geysers for hot water. There's a reliable backup electricity supply, so power cuts aren't a concern. This is a home run by the owner and his family. They live here, they cook the food, and they share their knowledge of the local birds and plants. The hospitality is personal and direct. As one guest, Sujoy Pal, noted, "The owners themselves cooked foods mingle with love & care, and also wash the dishes as like as in our household. These all feels us a second home in the lap of The Great Mountain." The food is a central part of the stay, with all meals and snacks included. It’s all home-cooked, and guests often talk about it. "The meals were fantastic," said one visitor, "we especially enjoyed the Alu paratha and veg pokora!" Another guest, Pradipta Mondal, found that "The food was absolutely delicious - comforting, authentic, and satisfying in every bite."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The home is a good point from which to explore East and West Sikkim. Most trips will route through Gangtok, the state capital, where you can arrange transport and the necessary permits for restricted areas.

A popular day trip from Gangtok is to Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake. It sits at an altitude of 12,400 ft and is about 40km away. The lake is often frozen in the winter. A permit is required to visit.

About 24km from Gangtok is Rumtek Monastery, a significant centre for Tibetan Buddhism and the seat of the Karmapa. It’s a vast complex with a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

For those with more time and a permit for North Sikkim, Yumthang Valley is known as the 'valley of flowers'. It's a full-day drive from Gangtok, typically requiring an overnight stay in Lachung. The valley is covered in rhododendrons in the spring.

In West Sikkim, the town of Pelling (around 115km from Gangtok) is the base for visiting the historic Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling monasteries, which offer clear views of the Kanchenjunga range. For serious trekkers, the Goecha La trek to the Kanchenjunga base camp starts from Yuksom.

Logistics

Getting there.

The most reliable airport for reaching Sikkim is Bagdogra (IXB) in West Bengal, which is about 124km from Gangtok. The drive from the airport takes around four to five hours. Sikkim has its own airport at Pakyong (PYG), just 30km from Gangtok, but flights are often diverted to Bagdogra due to weather.

The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), also in West Bengal. It is located about 122km from Gangtok. From both the airport and the railway station, you can hire a private taxi or take a shared jeep to reach Gangtok and other parts of Sikkim.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

Sikkim has two main tourist seasons. The spring, from March to May, is when the rhododendrons and other wildflowers are in full bloom across the state, especially in the higher valleys. The weather is pleasant.

The second season is autumn, from October to mid-December. This period offers the clearest skies, with sharp, unobstructed views of the Himalayan peaks, including Kanchenjunga. The weather is crisp and dry. The monsoon season, from June to September, sees heavy rainfall that can cause landslides and road closures, particularly in North Sikkim.
