The house earned its name from the grandfather of the hosts, affectionately called “Jiba” by his grandchildren and the villagers. Jiba’s divine blessings continue to inspire the family to preserve every memory and moment spent in Jibaghar, keeping it alive and vibrant.

6 months agoTotal Food was nice and organic. 5/5 Owner Nayan ji was polite and caring. 5/5 But cleanliness in rooms and dining hall is really bad. 1/5. No bonfire was given. But i saw in many review photos, few were given with bonfire.0/5 We can see dust and spider web near and beside bed and in dining hall everywhere. Property is really in nice location and old nice ancestral property but has to maintain cleanliness. Food taste was yummy, full organic and served with love and care.

a year agoThis is an experience for people looking for serene getaways, away from all the noise and hustle bustle of the city. It's a beautiful 100 year old house with very clean and nice rooms, full of windows on all sides. Nayan, the owner and also who manages the stay is a passionate travel enthusiast. He believes in making the whole experience memorable for his guests. Took care of minutest of details from taking you around the village, to explaining you the nitty gritties of farming, to ensuring that the tastiest local food is made available to his guests, he left no fronts to complain about. One must experience the Home Stay experience and promote local.

a year agoWhat a memorable and relaxing experience for my solo trip to Sikkim! It’s a great place to connect with nature and disconnect from the daily rat race. Nayan and his family are heartwarming and wonderful hosts. Thank you Nayan for sharing wonderful recipes of all the amazing food that your family prepared for my stay. I would highly recommend #Jibaghar and would definitely stay here again!
