“Had a fantastic staff picnic today at this serene resort! The atmosphere is incredibly soothing with beautiful surroundings, and the staff of the resort were super cooperative and attentive throughout. There's also a dedicated play area for kids, making it family-friendly. Highly recommend for group outings!”
““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. Perfect for anyone seeking calm and simplicity.””
“Recently was invited to a newly opened resort of my friends. Such a lovely experience. It's a natural place where we can enjoy with our families. Various activities like bird watching, hiking, great food etc.”
“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.”
The home is a good base for exploring East and West Sikkim. Gangtok, the state capital, is the hub for arranging permits and transport for onward journeys.
From Gangtok, you can take a day trip to Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake. It’s about 40km away and often frozen solid in the winter. A permit is required to visit.
Rumtek Monastery, the largest in Sikkim and the seat of the Karmapa Lama, is just 24km from Gangtok. It’s a centre for Buddhist studies and a significant pilgrimage site.
For those with more time, Pelling in West Sikkim is a 115km drive. It’s known for its incredible, direct views of Mount Kanchenjunga and its historic monasteries, including Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling.
A trip to North Sikkim to see the Yumthang Valley, the ‘valley of flowers’, is a multi-day journey from Gangtok and requires a separate permit. The gateway town is Lachung, 125km away.
For serious trekkers, the classic Goecha La trek starts from Yuksom in West Sikkim. This is a challenging, multi-day trek that takes you to the base of Kanchenjunga.
By Air: The nearest reliable airport is Bagdogra (IXB) in West Bengal, 124km away. It’s a 4-5 hour drive to the Gangtok area. Pakyong Airport (PYG) is much closer (30km from Gangtok) but flights are often cancelled or diverted due to weather.
By Rail: The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), located 122km away, near Siliguri. From NJP, you can hire a taxi for the drive up to Sikkim.
By Road: Gangtok is the main road hub in Sikkim. All transport, permits, and onward travel to other parts of the state are typically arranged from here.
The best seasons to visit Sikkim are spring and autumn. March to May is when the rhododendrons are in full bloom across the state, covering the hillsides in colour. October to mid-December offers clear blue skies and crisp mountain views, especially of the Kanchenjunga range.
The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rain and is best avoided. Landslides are common, and roads, particularly to North Sikkim, often get blocked.
