    We stayed at Yangsum Village Homestay for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The homestay overlooks stunning mountains and is surrounded by lush greenery, making it incredibly peaceful. They grow most of their own fruits and vegetables, which made the experience feel even more special. The host was extremely warm and attentive, ensuring we were comfortable throughout our stay. The home-cooked food was absolutely delicious—we truly couldn’t get enough of it! The highlight, however, was getting to spend time with their pet dog’s newborn puppies. Playing with them was pure joy and made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this homestay for anyone looking for a cozy, authentic, and heartwarming experience in nature.

    We stayed at Yangsum Village for five days and we had an incredible time of contemplation. The mountains are omnipresent and majestuous. We enjoyed doing a bit of garden work and helping ourselves to fresh fruits in the trees (it's guava and orange season, and we also tasted pomelos, avocados and homemade kiwi wine). Ukila is a wonderful cook and she prepared delicious local dishes and tea for us three times a day. A huge thank you to you and your family for the hospitality. Thank you too for coming along to the Tato Pani hot springs where we had the chance to get to know one another better and become friends :) The room is very clean and can accommodate up to four people. We will come back for sure whenever we visit Sikkim again !

    we visited Ukila and her homestay as a family of four (with 2 kids) this summer and it was a transformational stay for us. her food is excellent- fresh organic produce, the warmth and the hospitality that she brings is something worth experiencing in life. we were left awestruck and inspired- here is a special soul who has managed to create a space that is unlike any other, with a window from the kitchen that we still talk about.

    The wooden built homestay with its exotic natural surrounding poses an awe in tourists mind.The courtyard and the front garden is exquisitely filled with different varieties of plants and flowers, starting from ferns to varieties of orchids and agilia. From here,one gets magnificent view of Mt Kanchenjunga and we were blessed to see the mountain during our 3 nights stay. Hospitality of Ukee madam is excellent.She does birding, butterfly watching and is keen to cook good food and present it to her guests. Cottage is cosy with clean rooms and bathrooms. I recommend to visit this place once in one's Sikkim tour.
