Sonam Homestay Khecheopalri is located at Khecheopalri about 31 km from Pelling city of West Sikkim.
Things to do.
The homestay is on top of a hill right next to the famous Khecheopalri Lake and so offers 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and mountains such as Mt. Pandim, Mt. Narsingh, etc.
A one-minute walk from the homestay and on the edge of the hill, you will find a mesmerizing sunrise point with 180-degree views.
A walk down to the Khecheopalri lake takes just 20 minutes from the homestay, down the forest path along the slope of the hill.
There is an old Buddhist monastery right next to the homestay and there is another one beside the lake below where one can admire traditional Buddhist architecture and art.
Trek along enchanting forest paths and reach breathtaking viewpoints such as the Vajare Hilltop which is at 3500m and offers a panoramic view of the Kanchenjungha range.

7 months agoLovely family, quiet homestay, excellent food and super clean room. Being able to share a few days here is totally recommended if you want to live an authentic experience. Possibility of trekking to the surroundings, enjoy the sunrise, rest, learn from the collaborative village and walk to the lake.

6 months agoWe stayed one night here and I would love to have stayed longer. The family were very kind, and it was very inspiring to see such a beautiful home and small farm created by their love and care and hard work. The facilities are all very typical of the area, and beautiful food, hospitality, vegetable garden, flowers etc. Our favourite place to stay in all of out trip to India and Sikkim.

6 months agoSonam & Kinjan have got such a wonderful family that makes you feel so welcome. We learnt loads from them, particularly about Sikkim. The location is up on a hill above the lake within a small tight-knit community and is super picturesque! Kinjan’s food was also unbelievably good! Every meal was different, organic and delicious. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!
