Home stays

Sikkim is one of those places that has still managed to maintain and sustain the traditional life style in the onslaught of "modernity" and "progress". A land that is known for its richness in terms of tribes and deep rooted community living, we think the best way to explore this region is by literally living with the local communities in their houses. This gives you an insight that is unmatchable, an experience never forgettable.

However you are depended on your guide books or other information available on the places, history and "specialties" of the area, there is nothing better than hearing them from the local people. Stay with them in their homes, get a feel of their life-style, and understand in depth of their culture and the environment.

Home stays also promotes village tourism and helps the local communities benefit fully from the economic opportunities of tourism. The concept of Home stays was introduced in the rural areas of Sikkim with an aim to facilitate alternative source of income directly for the rural people in a sustainable way.

The system of Home stay brought in a very efficient way of sharing the income from tourism among several families. Depending on the number of visitors, the hosts have agreed upon a system where they circulate the guests amongst themselves so that everyone benefits out of tourism. A productive way of complementing rather than competing with each other!
