Resort in Sikkim for quiet family gatherings

Umsning· 4.3 · 62 stays

“A quiet home in East Sikkim, surrounded by greenery. The days are slow here - for walks in nature, bird watching, or time by the pool. The kitchen serves a buffet that guests love. A good place for family gatherings, with a play area for kids. The final uphill road to the home is in poor condition, so please drive with care.”

A look around

What's here

The last stretch of road is a rough, uphill climb. It ends at a clearing, surrounded by trees. The home is a collection of red-brick cottages with sloped roofs, connected by stone-paved paths. The air is fresh, and the grounds are quiet. Inside, each of the six rooms has its own bathroom. The design is simple, with space to unwind after a day of travel. Some rooms are larger, suited for families. The property is built for a slower pace. There's a swimming pool set in a stone deck, a lawn for kids to run on, and a dedicated play area. Dotted through the woods are quiet spots to sit, including a set of moss-covered stone chairs. As one guest, Bikash, wrote, “Surrounded by lush greenery and gentle hills, this place feels like a quiet escape from the noise of life. The traditional huts blend beautifully with nature, offering peace, fresh air, and a slow, mindful experience.” The staff are often mentioned for being attentive, and the buffet-style food is a highlight for many. It’s a place for walking, reading, and spending time with family.

“Loved the Food and the buffet system. Good atmosphere to relax with your homies. But nothing much to do and the uphill road leading to the resort is in pretty bad condition.”

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The home is a good point from which to explore East and West Sikkim. Gangtok, the state capital, is the hub for arranging transport and the necessary permits for restricted areas.

A day trip to Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake, is a popular excursion. It sits at a high altitude about 40km from Gangtok and often freezes over in winter. A Restricted Area Permit (RAP) is required to visit.

Rumtek Monastery, the seat of the Karmapa Lama, is 24km from Gangtok. It's a vast complex and an important pilgrimage site, offering a look into Tibetan Buddhist traditions and art.

For those planning a longer trip, Gangtok is the starting point for journeys into North Sikkim to see the Yumthang Valley, famous for its flowers. This requires a separate permit.

Further afield in West Sikkim, Pelling offers incredible views of Kanchenjunga. The historic Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling monasteries are key sights there. For serious trekkers, the Goecha La trek to Kanchenjunga base camp starts from Yuksom.

Logistics

Getting there.

By air: The nearest reliable airport is Bagdogra (IXB) in West Bengal, about 124km away. The drive to the Gangtok area takes around four hours. Pakyong Airport (PYG) is much closer (30km from Gangtok) but flights are often diverted to Bagdogra due to weather.

By rail: New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the closest major railway station, located 122km away. From NJP, you will need to hire a car for the journey into Sikkim.

By road: Gangtok is the main road hub for all of East Sikkim. You can hire taxis or shared jeeps from here for local travel.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best seasons to visit Sikkim are from March to May, when the rhododendrons are in full bloom across the state, and from October to mid-December, when the skies are clear after the monsoon, offering the best mountain views. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rain and frequent landslides, which can shut down roads, especially in North Sikkim.
