West Sikkim : locations de vacances avec petit déjeuner

Our brief two-night stay at Niharika, The Old Place, in mid-November was a delightful surprise. This 1926 villa, perched above the main town, offers breathtaking views of the rolling Himalayan foothills. Its unique blend of architectural charm and modern comfort creates an unforgettable experience. The villa's high ceilings, smooth concrete floors, and numerous French doors leading to private balconies and terraces exude an air of timeless elegance. The architect’s vision of stylish living is evident in every detail. Our gracious host, Rita, and the attentive caretaker, Praveen, ensured our stay was seamless. From delicious breakfasts and evening meals to prompt assistance, their hospitality was impeccable. Niharika, The Old Place, is more than just accommodation; it's a haven of tranquility and beauty. It's a place where time slows down, and one can truly appreciate the simple pleasures of life.

I stayed at this homestay for three nights, and it was a delightful experience. The view from the balcony is simply breathtaking, and the hospitality of the people here is heartwarming. The food is a standout feature—organic and delicious. However, I did encounter a few minor issues. The common bathroom can be a bit inconvenient, and the charger jack is located quite low on the wall. It would be much more convenient if it were placed beside the bed for easier access. Additionally, there are extra charges for using the kitchen, which I believe should be clearly mentioned in the instructions provided to guests. Despite these small issues, everything else was great. I would highly recommend this homestay for its beautiful views, warm hospitality, and excellent food.

Loved it thoroughly. Greeted with a beautiful ensemble of flowers, birds and furry pets, we felt one with the pristine ambience the moment we stepped into the property. You can adore the view of Kanchenjunga while having your morning tea at the porch. What more can someone want! We cut back on our sightseeing plans just to spend a few more leisurely hours at the property, such is the charm. We stayed for four days and ate heartily. We would come back just to have Aunty cook us Nepali dishes again. Not even once was the breakfast menu repeated. Sanjay is a remarkable gentleman, extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

This was the perfect cottage for our stay in Darjeeling. We are a family with 2 adults and 3 children and we stayed here during 3 days and had a wonderful time. It is a very beautiful place with great views of the mountains and very quiet and peaceful compared to Darjeeling. During our stay in India this was the best place we stayed in. Great for hikes and running. We also ate dinner that Tashis wife prepared in the evenings which was extremely good. Tashi was also very helpful in showing us around Darjeeling and Lamahata - a great guide! Highly recommend staying here when coming to Darjeeling!

host was very friendly and made us feel right at home. The stay, the view, the vibe were all very satisfying. the best part was the bonfire and the barbeque, that's a must try.

Beautiful property right beside the river. Private, close to nature - perfect for a getaway from the city. The food was great and we would highly recommend the place. Bimal was very helpful with cab drivers and anything else we needed.

The apartment itself is great (and being improved further!), but the highlight of the stay was my host and guide, Mr Mingma. He is a wonderful soul, and I encourage you to discover the ethos of him and his space on your own. The apartment is a steep alley down the main street. That'll be inconvenient for some, charming for others. Unlike what you'd get from the hotels and 'homestays' in the main town, from this apartment you'll have an opportunity to discovery Darjeeling the way the locals experience it. Mr Mingma also has some amazing recommendations for somewhat off-the-map sight-seeings. Recommended for longer stays. Currently the apartment contains only one bathroom with a shower and no wardrobe or full sized mirror. But these will be dealt with soon. The living room is amazing, exactly like the pictures. There are lots of friendly cats and not-so-friendly dogs nearby. But the dogs are all just sound and fury signifying nothing. Approach with love, you'll have a great time.

We had a great time, hosted by such a beautiful family! Thank you!

Sangay and Karma are great hosts. They take only one group at a time so we (me nd my partner) had the place to ourselves. You can requests the hosts for meal (for a very nominal price) incase you cant head out. The place looks exactly like in pictures and you will have a cozy feeling. The studio has a good vibe. Books to read and art of other students can be seen and enjoyed. Pets on the property are a great bonus.
