Sittong Homestay

Tucked away in the misty hills of Selpu Khasmahal, this homestay offers a peaceful Himalayan escape framed by mountain and valley views. It’s a stay for travelers who love slow mornings, orange-laden orchards in winter, and quiet evenings under starry skies. Wake up to cool mountain air, panoramic vistas, and the sounds of village life starting up around you. Rooms are simple yet cozy, with heaters and reliable electricity to keep you comfortable in the crisp hill weather. Free Wi‑Fi ensures you can stay connected when needed, though most guests end up spending more time outdoors than on their screens. As the sun dips behind the surrounding ridges, the open spaces around the house come alive with crackling campfires and the aroma of freshly grilled chicken BBQ. These evenings are often the highlight—sharing stories, sipping local tea, and watching the valleys slowly disappear into the dark. Couple-friendly rooms and tranquil surroundings make it a lovely choice for romantic getaways, while the open parking area and driver booking support add convenience for families and groups. CCTV on the premises adds a layer of security, and the location’s reachability—close enough to major hubs like Siliguri and NJP yet far from city noise—makes it a practical nature retreat. The homestay also makes an excellent base to explore the lesser-known gems of North Bengal: - Namthing Pokhri Lake: A serene hilltop lake often surrounded by mist, perfect for quiet walks and birdwatching. - Senchal Sanctuary: A haven for nature lovers, with dense forests, walking trails, and the chance to spot Himalayan flora and fauna. - Sittong Orange Garden: Famous for its winter harvest, where trees heavy with oranges transform the village into a burst of color and fragrance. - Jogighat Bridge: A picturesque bridge spanning a river gorge, ideal for photography and enjoying the sound of rushing mountain streams. - Ahaldara View Point: One of the best sunrise and sunset spots in the region, with sweeping views of valleys, ridges, and on clear days, distant peaks. - Mungpoo Rabindra Museum: A cultural stop where you can explore the former summer residence of Rabindranath Tagore, now a museum preserving his legacy. Between unhurried village walks, day trips to forests and viewpoints, and nights around a warm fire, this stay offers the right blend of comfort and rustic charm. It’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the quieter side of the Himalayas.
