Dzongu· 5.0 · 1 stays

“A family-run home in the protected Dzongu valley of North Sikkim. The rooms are spacious, with attached western bathrooms and views from the windows and terrace. All meals are included and cooked with organic ingredients from the garden - veg and non-veg both. The host, Sonam, is a local guide who can help arrange the necessary permits for Dzongu and car transfers from Gangtok or Mangan. A quiet base, accessible by road, for a slow look at Sikkim.”

A look around

What's here

The car pulls up a paved driveway, ending in a courtyard surrounded by bamboo and flowering plants. Prayer flags flutter from the roof of the three-storey home. This is a place built for family, with three bedrooms that can sleep up to six guests. The rooms are spacious, some large enough to work as family rooms for four, and all have attached bathrooms with hot water geysers and western toilets - not always a given in the region. From the rooms and the shared terrace, you get clear mountain views. The home is pet-friendly and kid-friendly, with Wi-Fi, power backup, and parking on site. Guests have access to the kitchen, but all meals are part of the stay. As one guest put it, "The owner Mr Sonam is a very helpful person." He can help sort out the permits and transport you need to explore this part of Sikkim.

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Dzongu itself is a protected area, reserved for the Lepcha community, and exploring its villages and forests is the main draw. For wider exploration, Gangtok is the hub.

From Gangtok, you can arrange a day trip to Tsomgo Lake (also called Changu Lake), about 40km away. It sits at 12,400 ft and is often frozen solid in winter. A permit is required. Nearby Rumtek Monastery, 24km from Gangtok, is the seat of the Karmapa and a significant centre for Tibetan Buddhism.

For the famous Yumthang Valley, the ‘valley of flowers’, you’ll need a separate North Sikkim permit, usually arranged in Gangtok. The valley is best visited out of Lachung. Further afield in West Sikkim, Pelling offers incredible, direct views of Kanchenjunga and is home to the historic Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling monasteries. For serious trekkers, the Goecha La trek to the Kanchenjunga base camp starts from Yuksom in West Sikkim.

Logistics

Getting there.

The most reliable airport is Bagdogra (IXB) in West Bengal, about 124km away. From there, it's a 4-5 hour drive to Gangtok. Sikkim's own airport, Pakyong (PYG), is closer to Gangtok (30km) but flights are often diverted to Bagdogra due to weather. The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), 122km from Gangtok. From Gangtok or Mangan, the host can help arrange a small car transfer directly to the home.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best seasons for Sikkim are spring and autumn. March to May is rhododendron season, when the hillsides are in bloom. October to mid-December offers crisp air and the clearest mountain views after the monsoon has washed the skies. The monsoon season (June to September) sees heavy rain, and roads in North Sikkim are often closed due to landslides.
