Mahim Homestay

This was without a doubt the highlight of our tour of Sikkim. From the very start, Na Mang and his family were exceptionally gracious hosts. We spent two nights in his home with his family, enjoying beautifully cooked and plentiful organic food cooked by Insu, Na Mang's sister. We had the opportunity to do a village walk to learn more about the village of Darap which is honestly stunning, and even a momo workshop for lunch! The rooms are cosy and warm. Moreover, it is the hospitality of Na Mang, his enthusiastic character and clear affection for his homestay project that made this stay what is was. He is clearly an intelligent and driven young man with wonderful ambition for his homestay and I wish him and his family all the best to achieve these. If you visit the Pelling area, make sure to not just stay in Pelling (where the mountain views are excellent) but also at this homestay in Darap, where you will leave with your belly and your heart feeling full. Thank you Na Mang and your family.

We had the privilege to stay at Mahim homestay and the overall experience was incredibly satisfying. I cherish all the moments I spent there. And I wish you all the success and if I may get a chance to visit again I would like to see all your vision unfolded into reality. Wishing you all the success brother. Grateful for everything we had experienced during our time there.

We stayed there for two days and the hospitality and warmth with which we were greeted was great. It is a quiet, serene place where you can interact and truly experience village life in west sikkim. The food they prepared was nourishing and very good, and the rooms and very clean. The view is great and we loved conversing with the family. Great homestay if you're looking for a quiet getaway and a glimpse into life with locals. The host is extremely tourist-friendly and makes you feel at home.

We stayed three nights at Mahim and really enjoyed comfortable rooms and warm hospitality. Rooms are with attached bathrooms all new and clean. With scenic view to surrounding hills and village. Rural and quiet. The host Namhang is very helpful and fluent in English which makes communication very easy. He knows a lot about Limboo culture and everything about village and surroundings. His sister Inu cooks exceptional variety of tasty organic vegetarian food in local traditions. Do ask to try milk and butter from their own cow, it is really something.

A wonderful experience of walking around the Limbu community in Darab village, not far from Pelling. Food and hospitality was A++ with an experience to remember. Unfortunately we were not able to stay here as we were travelling in a group larger than what could be accommodated here. But for sure will return next time at the homestay. Good luck to Naman.
