Samthar Plateau

Reviewed By ziniatalks - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

Homestay redefined. Very near to Siliguri, located near the Don Bosco school of Samther Village, a prestine and pure ambiance. Property is near the church. All rooms are view rooms and offer mesmerizing view both day and night. They have driver's accommodation too. Offers pick and drop service(paid) in their owned bolero. Road condition will not allow any car apart from SUVs. No ATM, NO HARDDRINKS available nearby. As it is a sacred village, guests are requested to be rational while consuming harddrinks. Host encourage social drinking or non drinkers. All mobile network available, Voda, jio, bsnl, airtel..... No wi-fi. No tv. We watched on our mobile. Staff are polite, friendly and service oriented. Good food, reasonable cost. Hosts are poised and caring. Booking is done thru Bentrip ( 098322 52849) or direct. 1600 per night per head on AP basis. Value for money. Highly recommended for group or family. Samthar offers both sunrise and sunset views. Visit Rai Dara for sunrise and Panbu Dara ( highest point of Sinchal, 8 km from property) for mesmerizing sunset and view of river Teesta (almost like Google map) on one side and Mt. K (full range) on the other side. Best time for panbu is March April or October November for full show of Mt K. Visit nearby (15 km from property) Suruk Relli Nature Park for the hanging bridge and natural view of river Relli, enjoy open air beer point on a sunny day, but don't crush the bottles. Return it to the beer point. This could be a great place for camping also. Food can be supplied by the village people just opposite the river. The spot is still virgin.

Lamahatta

Reviewed By trudo007 - Dhaka City, Bangladesh

A mesmerising place to visit and spend some quite time in the shadow of giant pine forest.. if you’re enough lucky and sky is clear, you will be able to watch the mighty mountains with white shimmery ice on the top of that in opposite site.. a man made creation could be such beautiful I didn’t have enough idea..I went there in winter.. I think winter is the best time to visit this place..
