A look around

What's here

The path to the house passes under stone archways into a garden lined with potted flowers, banana plants, and leafy greens. From the wooden balcony, the ground drops away into the valley, opening up views across the surrounding ridges toward the high snow peaks on clear mornings. Inside, the rooms feature king beds dressed in light floral quilts, wooden storage trunks, and soft bench seating along large windows. En-suite bathrooms come equipped with modern standing showers, western toilets, wall-mounted geysers, and traditional wash buckets. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 5 beds, and 5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. It is managed by Mr. Phurba Lepcha and his family, who cook fresh meals using produce harvested from their own kitchen garden. Guests can sit in the outdoor gazebo or walk through the garden patches while tea is prepared. Reviewers frequently detail the quiet pace and personal care at the home. As Rimpa Guin wrote, "In a cloud free day you will witness the whole sleeping buddhha range." Tsunma Sherab Khandro shared, "Their food was delicious and all organic - much of it grown on their own property!" Sarita Kolay noted that "Phurba ji has a huge garden area which I admired the most," while Rajat Saha added, "The location is also near to the small trek of Smriti Bon."

Rabdentse ruins lie 7km from the property. The site contains the stone foundations of the ancient Sikkimese capital, reached via a short walking trail through dense forest.

The clearest weather arrives from October through mid-June. Autumn and winter bring crisp skies, dry air, and clear morning views of the mountain ridges. Spring months bring blooming garden flowers across the property.

The monsoon season runs from June through September. Heavy rainfall can cause landslides along the mountain access roads, particularly on the route up from Bagdogra and New Jalpaiguri.
