Holiday houses in Bhalukhop Forest

We stayed at Himalayan Hues in Gangtok for two nights. Located near SAP camp, it’s peaceful yet close to MG Marg. The owner, Piyush, is always helpful and guided us with our itinerary. The caretaker, Passang, made our stay memorable by assisting with cabs and cooking amazing food, especially Tibetan momos and dry aloo dum. Though we couldn’t see Kanchenjunga due to fog, the weather was great. The place felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Gangtok and want to stay away from the hustle and bustle. It’s perfect for a short or long stay. I’ll definitely come back, this time for a long stay!

Extremely supportive, warm, and friendly hosts who took great care of us throughout our stay. Special mention to Gyatso and his wife, the staff and ofcourse the lovely pets. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as shown in the pictures. Though it’s a little away from the main town of Pelling, the peace, views, and hospitality make it totally worth it. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a quiet corner in Darjeeling - away from the bustle and chaos of the Mall Road. Gurjeeb's place is perfect for that. It's located about 3 km away from the Mall Road, which gives it the kind of quiet and serenity we were after. One needs to drive about a minute down from the main road and then take a flight of stairs to reach Gurjeeb's place so if you want very easy accessibility, this is something you should consider. But the property itself is worth the effort. The room in the attic is big and pretty, with all basic amenities available. A special shoutout to Gurjeeb's cousin Sujan who looked after us very well and took care of all our needs. He helped us get our luggage up and down the property - which would have been a hassle otherwise - and made amazing local food for us. The Happy Valley Tea Estate is a 10-minute walking distance from here and it's quaint, quiet and amazing. Loved the overall vibe of the place and will love to return in the future.

Really Good Place for family short trip. I plan to roam near by area but her place is so beautiful I decided to enjoy this place only. Meghna mother is truly Gem of the house. She prepare tailor made food for us. Truly look like my mom is preparing. Even during cooking you join her she will tell you story of his life. Innocentely super. I have 10 years old kid with me he really like Doggy very adorable. He is always play with him. All food aunty prepare organic. In last thank you for everything. God bless you, you grow day by day.

Jyoti's place was really nice, a little further from the noise of city center, into the picturesque wilderness. We had a really nice stay for couple of days. They have a restaurant with the place where the food is awesome and the people (Niteshji and team) are absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this place.

The property is located in the mid of a tea garden. Beautiful place. Perfect for spending some time in the midst of lush green scenic beauty. On top of it Rebika is an awesome host. She took care of us very well. Approaching road is not perfect. But it's worth the trouble once you reach the place.

Where to begin… Staying at Sristi’s farm was such an authentic and unforgettable experience. I had the chance to live alongside Sristi and her lovely family, and it gave me a genuine glimpse into their way of life. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home — Sristi has such a warm, welcoming energy, and we connected really naturally. She quickly felt more like a friend than a host. We shared some amazing moments together, including a trip to a beautiful river. There’s so much to do around the farm — whether you’re in the mood for hiking, exploring the nearby village (don’t miss the best samosa in West Sikkim!), or simply unwinding and soaking in the peaceful nature all around. And I can’t forget to mention the food — absolutely delicious, every single meal! Needless to say, I highly recommend staying here. It’s a special place, and one I’ll carry with me for a long time. Thank you Sristi!!! Until next time 🫶🏼

Manisha and Zikmi were absolutely wonderful hosts. Right from the time we landed at NJP station, they were constantly checking in and guiding us on how to reach the property. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with a lovely cup of Darjeeling tea and a delicious dinner! And the meals that followed during our stay were all homely and super delicious. The rooms and the view were exactly as shown in the pictures, maybe even better. The property is about 2 km from Sukhia Bazaar, which makes it feel peaceful and offbeat - just what we needed. Throughout our stay, they were super helpful with local food recommendations and nearby places to explore. Also, suggested us a short and pretty trek down the road to a pine forest. They’re genuinely kind people who go out of their way to make sure you feel at home. Would surely be visiting again - for the view, for the food and mostly for the people :) Highly recommended!
