3 months agoIt's on an excellent location, quite, serene, green. Cosy rooms with all basic amenities. One can roam around the homestay, do short hiking, visit nearby monasteries. In March to April the area is all covered with vibrant Rhododendrons and cherry flowers. Coming to the food, they're homely and really tasty. They have their unique signature dishes also. In the evening they also arrange bonfire. At night a sky full of stars and constellations can seen, if the weather is clear. It's great option for a nature escape.

2 months agoOne of the most peaceful homestay in Okhrey. We stayed in a ground floor room, the room was spacious and properly maintained. The homestay is beautifully decorated and the location is very scenic. They also arrange for bon-fire. They arrange for vehicles for Hilley. The hospitality is very good and you can stay there without any second thought.

a year agoWe visited this property on 16th of December with my family straight from Nepal and the weather here was so moody. Its best for those who enjoy offbeat and calm environment. All rooms are view facing and the spectacular night view of Darjeeling town is just mesmerizing. Besides one can easily get access to see and taste Rainbow Trout at the property itself. Best for bonfire and camping services in Okhrey. The location is just wow all surrounded by mighty valleys of singalila range and the cost is also very friendly.And the owner is very hospitable and friendly. Do contact for tour details and transportation for Sikkim tour
