We aim to be a Eco-friendly operation and a lot of thought has gone into every single detail - our teas are sourced from the organic tea estate in Sikkim and our coffee is sourced from an organic plantation in Nagaland. All our toiletries are made especially for us and are 100% natural. Even our cleaning supplies are 100% natural with no harmful chemicals. We have even managed to source bio degradable garbage bags! Please use as little plastic as possible during your trip. We are happy to provide you filtered water for free - please carry a reusable bottle along for your trip and lets try and keep Sikkim plastic free!!

Other than the spacious rooms, the guests have access to the drawing room, the dining area and the grounds around the house. Once in a while we also let guest have access to our amazing terrace.

I will be available at the premises all day and until meal times. I can help you plan your itinerary around Sikkim and also help you with a pick up and drop to Bagdogra or NJP. I am open for conversations, board games or just talks over drinks. I love hosting and meeting people from all walks of life.
We are in a quiet neighbourhood in Gangtok with easy access to local shared cabs that take you to main town in 5/10 mins. The local taxi stand is an easy 2 mins walk from the house.We are one of very rare houses in Gangtok with a large private gated compound with vegetable gardens and greenery all around the house. We are very close to town but far enough to enjoy peace and tranquility. Wake up to birdsong and not to traffic noise!
