    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay with Heartwarming Hospitality! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful homestay, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality that we immediately felt at home. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The peaceful environment made our stay even more relaxing. Every small detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure guests feel comfortable and cared for. What impressed me the most was the incredible behavior and kindness of the hosts. Their hospitality was on another level — extremely caring, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. They treated us like family rather than guests. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, adding even more joy to our stay. Overall, it was a perfect experience, and I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for comfort, peace, and heartfelt hospitality. Thank you for making our trip so special. I would love to visit again!

    We secured our leave at the eleventh hour. While browsing YouTube, I chanced upon Rolep Tribal Homestay in East Sikkim. That is how I was introduced to Roshan Rai, the chief evangelist of Rolep Tribal. Roshan is a master of experiential travel. A wildlife photographer and eco-tourism professional, he is also an ardent admirer of Rabindranath Tagore’s works and philosophy. I was fortunate to have the personal planning assistance of both him and his team. My journeys took me to Rolep, Dokchin, and Zuluk. Through these places one may encounter simplicity, wildlife, and nature in its most unadulterated form. The experience was superlative: immaculate rooms and washrooms, windows that open directly to the living landscape, organic food, and a staff whose support is as quiet as it is unwavering. Here, you live nature, local culture, and authentic organic cuisine in their purest expression. I recommend his services to anyone willing to listen quietly to the song of the birds, the gurgle of the brooks, and the cool breeze that accompanies walks through farms, valleys, and mountain slopes; to those who would trek to hidden hamlets and savor fare that nourishes spirit, mind, and soul alike. On the road less travelled, Where pine-clad ridges keep their ancient hush, And untamed streams trace silver through the fern, I chose the path the weary world would shun And found the earth, with open hands in return. Best Wishes, Arnab Naskar

    Tribal homestay, its owner Mr Roshan Rai and his entire team, including Anisha, Nisha, Aniwas, Rajkumar and Subinsa, deserve a huge round of applause for the tremendous job they are doing in this remote east Sikkim village. We had no complaints during our stay (3 nights/4 days) here. The hospitality was amazing, the staff went out of the way to ensure that everything was in order. The food was superb (our special requests -- trout and pork -- were arranged and the preparations were par excellence). The location of the homestay deserves a five-star rating, with the roaring Rangpo khola flowing by it. The rooms were cozy, regularly cleaned, the besheets, pillow covers and towels were changed everyday. The balcony offered splendid birding opportunities with rare species like Spangled Drongo, Common Green Magpie, Orange-bellied Leafbird and Black-throated Sunbird making regular appearances. The river offered a few more species like Brown Dipper, Plumbeous Water Redstart and Crested Kingfisher. The hanging bridges of Rolep added another dimension to the landscape. A stroll in and around the village was very refreshing. Mr Rai, himself an avid birder, is a repository of information and a very amiable person. All in all, it's a perfect location for an idyllic vacation. We plan to come back asap as spending a a whole day at the enchanting riverside campsite at Chachal is due.
