A look around
What's here
The home sits right by the water in Aritar, surrounded by pine forest. The first thing you notice is the view of the lake. There are eight bedrooms, each with its own bed, and the home can sleep up to sixteen people. The rooms are large and clean, with enough space to accommodate three guests in each. From the balconies, you can see the lake and the trees. On days when the sky is clear, Mount Kanchenjunga is visible in the distance. The property has plenty of open space, a garden, and a small swimming pool for guests to use. The host, Dev Raj Gurung, is usually around to help with anything you might need. As one guest, Ishaan, put it, "Thanks to the hosts - Dev Raj Gurung for his guidance and help overall." The staff are helpful and keep the place well-maintained. Another guest noted, "the main USP is the awesome view of the lake and the forest. Plenty of open spaces...."

Awesome place..... not sure why this property is not highlighted like other locations. Rooms are big, clean, easily accommodates 3 ppl, foods are okay however the main USP is the awesome view of the lake and the forest. Plenty of open spaces.... In all, this property is wonderfully maintained, good staffs. Thanks to the hosts - Dev Raj Gurung for his guida...

It is a hidden gem.. If you are visiting Aritar and planning to stay there then this is the place for you. Premium rooms with reasonable rates and the beautiful lake makes it a perfect place to stay in Aritar. Some insects may be there as it is surrounded by jungle but those are not harmful. You can ignore those.

Off- beat place at East Sikkim. Accommodation, Food, Service, Cleanliness etc all good. Added facility Zip Line adventure activity. Boating facility available from separate facility.If weather is clear Mt Kanchenjunga can be seen.

Splendid location…. The view of the lake and the surrounding pine forest is serene and explicit… The only problem is since the rooms are near to the lake and forest, plenty of mosquitos and ants crawls inside the room… Food served was average…. Service was good….. The owners were very courteous…..

It is very nice place to stay in the lap of nature and to enjoy the scenic beauty. If you lucky enough then you can see the Kanchenjunga Clearly from the cottage. The food was there good and also the staff's behaviour was very well but quantity of the food must be increased.

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The main attraction is the lake itself. A boating facility is available nearby if you want to get out on the water. For a bit of adventure, there is a zip-line activity available right at the property. The area is best for quiet walks through the forest and enjoying the views.
