A look around

What's here

The road winds up to a gate lit by a string of lights, prayer flags fluttering in the air. This home, with its stone-clad ground floor and wide concrete terrace, is a place for pause. The welcome is warm, a feeling that guests say is "like family". The home has one bedroom configured to sleep up to six guests, with options including twin beds and bunk beds, making it suitable for families or small groups. The space is simple, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, with one attached bathroom. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and a swing for quiet moments. While meals are not included in the stay, guests have access to the kitchen. The hosts are known for their cooking, and a full Sikkimese spread can often be arranged on request. As one guest, Vivek, wrote, "Sitting on the balcony with a cup of tea, soaking in the mountain air, was pure bliss." Another guest, Sonu, found it was "the best stay of our entire sikkim trip. Felt like home." For many, it becomes "a home far from home. They became more like a family."

“This was the best stay of our entire sikkim trip. Felt like home. Everything was great whether be it the rooms, ambience, food quality, environment, hospitality. The only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer because of time constraints. In short it was a memorable experience. Definitely worth recommending.”

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The home is a good starting point for exploring East and West Sikkim. Gangtok, the state capital, is the hub for arranging transport and the necessary permits for restricted areas. From there, you can visit Tsomgo (Changu) Lake, a high-altitude glacial lake that freezes over in winter, about 40km away. Rumtek Monastery, the seat of the Karmapa, is just 24km from Gangtok.

For those venturing further, Pelling in West Sikkim offers incredible views of Kanchenjunga and is home to the historic Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling monasteries. With a special permit, you can travel to North Sikkim to see the Yumthang Valley, famous for its wildflowers in the spring. For serious trekkers, the classic Goecha La trek to the Kanchenjunga base camp begins from Yuksom in West Sikkim.

Logistics

Getting there.

The most reliable way to arrive is by air to Bagdogra Airport (IXB) in West Bengal, which is about a 4-hour, 124km drive away. Sikkim's own Pakyong Airport (PYG) is closer (30km from Gangtok) but flights are often diverted due to weather. The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), 122km away, from where you can hire a car. Gangtok serves as the central hub for all road travel within the state.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

Sikkim has two peak seasons. March to May is when the rhododendrons are in full bloom, covering the hillsides in colour. The second window is from October to mid-December, when the monsoon has passed, leaving behind clear blue skies and sharp views of the Himalayan peaks. The monsoon season (June to September) is best avoided, as heavy rains can cause landslides and road closures, particularly in North Sikkim.
