Our Honeymoon trip

Reviewed By Beau-Ain

I chose the Green hill resort of kaluk(along with peling and ravangla) to surprise my husband on our honeymoon trip and it was one of the best decisions of that trip as the scenic beauty we enjoyed from the room of that resort was beyond description.. The quality of food, politeness and helpfulness of the staff were so charming that we would love to visit the place again if possible.. Special thanks to Mr. Bikram Subba ji..

Yangsum Heritage Farm

All meals included in room rate.

Beautiful farm, tucked away in a quiet space

Reviewed By ruchi_sha

Yangsum Heritage Farm, is true to its name. It has been run and built slowly over a few generations. The host, Thendup is resourceful and helpful person. The farm is cut away from the small quaint town of Rinchenpong. It is spread over a large-ish area where they grow some fruits, buckwheat and vegetables and also have some animals and other farm folk living on the land. There are beautiful little walks and treks that possible in every direction. The staff at this farm/homestay were really nice, polite and warm. They have a local cook/chef who prepared fresh, home-cooked food which was delicious. They would make 1-2 local items and add in more Indian food prepared in the local way - I thoroughly enjoyed the food here. The best part was that all the rooms and cabins were made in wood in a local style of architecture. And most of the walls have family photos and heirlooms that are displayed for everyone to see. 1 thing that would make the stay better is a guide who could take us for interactive nature walks and also help us communicate and meet local people. I would also like to know more about the history of the family and a guided tour of the farm, family photos etc. which would give some insight into the people and their lives in this region.

Mandarin Village Resort

Nice memorable place in the Himalayas

Reviewed By basab

Hotel is located in the steep 100 meters down the main Kaluk bazar. Once you enter the premises, it's serene and beautiful. Although weather was not favourable that time, this hotel views the mountains and the valleys uninterruptedly. We booked 2 cottage type rooms on the first floor. Rooms are quite big with good balcony to relax. Food was moderately good and they serve food at their dining hall only. Room service is chargeable, I didn't like that idea. Bad part is, they do not recharge their cable TV connections. Children have hardly anything to do in such places after sundown, if there is no TV. Neither this is a remote village where cable TV, internet facilities are not available. Management should look into this. Manager Bharat is a lovable young man, always ready to help.

Martam Village Resort

A Holiday in Martam Village Resort is a unique experience. Situated in the breathtaking and tranquil countryside of East Sikkim, in the foothills of the Himalayas, the resort overlooks a beautiful valley of rich terraced paddy fields, bounded by forest-covered hills. The resort overlooks endless rows of terraced paddy fields and is bounded by rich forest covered hills, which form a part of the Fambongla Wildlife Sanctuary. This is the perfect location for visitors who love nature or adventure and for those seeking peace and relaxation. Guests may enjoy a short trek to the top of the hills to see the rich and unique Himalayan flora and fauna or enjoy the fabled Sikkimese hospitality among the villagers. The Accommodation is in 13 thatched cottages built in traditional style to blend with the surrounding village. The cottages have twin bedded rooms with large picture windows framing the spectacular countryside. Each room has attached bath with modern facilities. Great care has been taken to blend the resort into the village, to maintain the ethnic style and culture of the area. To remain rustic, yet, provide for a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Magic moments

Reviewed By anixom

So We had kept Martam as the last day of my 10 day tour , coming down from Rumtek when I first reached the place it put me in an awe . Such pretty views and the cottages were like the traditional Sikkimese IKRA houses . The farm expands quite a bit and you have the whole resort spread out . They have the activities listed and you will have one of the friendliest service.Dont expect high end resort facilities but be greeted with smiles and positive vibes . I had actually lost my phone while coming down to Martam and the hospitality guys helped me out to an extent of providing me their personal wifi for a night . But surely the magic of the place didn’t even remind me of my loss and I loved every moment spend in this fantasy village . Just while I was checking out the next day ....I received a call on my gfs number from an unknown person and he found my phone somewher in the Ranka forests . Truly magic ! And I will remember Martam everytime I look for hope ... thanks

Clouds End Retreat & Cafe

In south sikkim at the base of Maenam Hill Rabong is transit point for beautiful spots such as Chaza Lake , Ralong Monastery, Manilakhang, Sakyamuni Cultrral and Pilgrimage Centre and various tourist destinations of West Sikkim , the only base camp for adventure trekking is located here of trekking up to Maenam Hill and Borong. The ultimate Eco-tourism destination of sikkim reminiscent of a town from the Wild West Ravang-la a sleepy hamlet at about 2100 meters above the sea level at the base of Maenam Hill and this is also the gateway transit to various tourists destination of entire Sikkim . Amidst many towering mountains where magical mists like divine dragon rise form the forests; here the earth is child of the heaven.
