Welcome Homestay

If you love nature and want to be away from typical tourist spots, Yuksom is a great location. Welcome homestay as name suggests is a very warm and welcome place. Apeng and his family were wonderful hosts for our family. His family runs their farm right outside this stay and you can expect some freshly amd deliciously cooked local food at home. His daughter was very polite and friendly to my kids and they thoroughly enjoyed her company feeding rabbits. If you are especially looking to Trek Dzongri or Goechala, Apeng will arrange all this for you. PS: Apeng is an expert farmer if you want some tips. Thanks for being wonderful hosts. Cheers !

I recently spent 3 days at Welcome Homestay in Yuksum, West Sikkim, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a place that feels less like a rental and more like visiting family, this is it. The highlight of our stay was the incredible hospitality. The owner, Apeng Ji, is an amazing person who goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are comfortable. His entire family is involved in making the stay special, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that you just can't find in a hotel. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was cooked fresh by the family. ​The Apeng Ji’s wife and daughters were heavily involved in the cooking process, and you can really taste the love and care in every meal. It felt like a genuine authentic local delicacies experience. Chiring, Apeng ji's son, was incredibly helpful. He took the time to show us around and guide us through the nearby places like waterfalls, making our trip much more adventurous. ​ And I can't forget Ripthing! He is absolutely adorable and totally won our hearts with his sweet greetings. We’re already genuinely missing his famous "hann jii"—it was the highlight of our mornings! Highly recommend Welcome Homestay to anyone visiting Yuksum. The combination of great food, a wonderful family, and a genuine personal touch made our stay perfect.

This was the best homestay I've stayed in within such affordable prices!!! Genuinely loved the place and people so much. It's run by a very sweet family who will take care of you like you belong. I'm not even kidding, I'm definitely going there every year just to unwind and soak in the positive energy. Highlight - they have bunnies, dogs and cat! A bonfire place! A swing! A beautiful setup outdoors for drinking! And place for people who want to camp! Gosh... Started to miss the place just by typing all this.

Staying at Welcome HomestayClick to open side panel for more information in Yuksom felt less like a typical booking and more like visiting family, which made my parents' four-day trip truly special. The hospitality from Apeng Ji and his family is genuinely next-level; they go out of their way to make you feel at home, even bringing hot tea to the room every evening. We loved that the meals are made with fresh, organic ingredients straight from their own farm—you can really taste the difference in every bite! The rooms are spacious, sparkling clean, and offer such peaceful views of the surrounding greenery and forest. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, but that just adds to the quiet, authentic vibe of the place. We’re already missing the warm energy of the Bhutia family and would recommend this cozy retreat to anyone looking for a real taste of Sikkimese warmth and culture.

I had a fantastic stay at Welcome Homestay. The home-cooked meals were delicious, my room was cozy and clean, the family is super friendly. They brought hot tea for me in the room every evening and helped me to book a taxy. The location is quite secluded, but the place is very peaceful with a beautiful garden. Highly recommend!
