Overview

Check-in time: 12:00 PM
Check out time: 11:00 AM

Located on the edge of a hilltop, this homestay offers a panoramic view of the beautiful Himalayan foothill, the meandering Teesta River, and the snowy peaks of Nathula and beyond. The stay offers 3 ethnic rooms with a Machaan (watchtower) for the guests from where they can enjoy these mesmerizing views. The stay offers organic food and here guests can also pick up vegetables from the garden and give it to our kitchen for fresh salads to enjoy.

The stay is surrounded by forests on one side and farmlands on the other. Guests can go on a guided village tour where a short hike would take them to Deorali Dara or the Good Vibes Wishing Point. From here guests can get a panoramic view of the river valley, the forests, and the rolling hills. Then they can head for Kaleej Khola just 2 km from the stay through the forests where guests can practice their angling skills. Local cold-water fish like Asala, Buduna, Chirkey, Bhitti are found in plenty but rare species like Goonch has also been spotted in Kalej Khola in the past.

While staying here, guests can also enjoy a whole lot of other activities such as birdwatching, forest picnics, nature walk, interact with villagers, etc. Later, guests can enjoy the crackling sound of wood fire and the roasted chicken served with local drinks like Thumba under the starlit sky. The silence of the surrounding forests and the chill in the mountain wind would be there to accompany.

How to reach:
The homestay is located just 42 km from Gangtok and 98 km from Siliguri. Guests can reach the stay using either public or private taxis.

    Story by Gayatri Bhattacharya

     Rated : 5.0

    My partner got hold of a Thrillophilia voucher for a Sikkim homestay that initially I was not that keen on using. However, I went ahead and set off for this Traveler’s paradise homestay for 2 days and one night. And, I am so glad I did because it was one of the nicest stay experiences. Our homestay was perched on a hilltop’s edge and offered sweeping views of the Himalayan foothills, the snowy Nathula peaks, and the snaking Teesta River. A special thanks to thrillophilia for giving tripping a whole new spin as we could go for forest picnics, nature walks, and practice angling at the Kaleej Khola. To this day, I keep telling my partner as to how we need another trip soonish. Only, to try the roast chicken with thumba, under a starlit sky of the Traveler’s paradise homestay, with the chilling mountain wind for company.
