If you want a peaceful stay away from the crowded Mall Road area, Banabas Homestay is a solid choice. Guests consistently mention clean rooms, warm hospitality, homely food, and beautiful Kanchenjunga views from the terrace. The owner is often praised for being helpful and arranging local transport when needed.

My trip was for 7 days and I stayed 6 nights here. The place is very peaceful and also the owner (Prashant) is very nice and helpful.. He helped us with location details and also provided guidance for everything like taxis and sightseeing. Please do visit if you want a peaceful and perfect home like stay. And the view is very beautiful from the terrace. You can also get the view of Kanchenjunga if the weather is clear.👍

I had a fantastic stay at this homestay, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The rooms were excellent—comfortable beds, soft pillows, cozy blankets (two per room), cupboards, plenty of storage space, and a water heater with a geyser, which was a blessing in the cold season. The owner, Prasant Ji, was extremely hospitable and well-behaved, making us feel at home right from the start. His family was equally sweet, and we never felt like we were away from home. Safety is top-notch, making this place ideal for both solo travelers and families. The home-cooked food was delicious and hygienic, offered at a reasonable price. From morning tea to dinner, we were well taken care of. While we often had lunch during our trip, we always had dinner at the homestay, and Prasant Ji even packed us dinner for our return journey. Despite it being peak season, he managed to arrange a cab for us, adding to the smoothness of our trip. The highlight, though, was the mesmerizing view from the terrace. Enjoying my morning tea up there became my favorite routine, and the view at night was even more breathtaking—words don't do it justice. In summary, this homestay was a perfect experience in every way, and I strongly recommend it. If you're considering it, don't hesitate—just book it! My advice would be to book well in advance for months like October or February to April. At last I had just one regret, I didn't able to see the mighty Kangchenjunga due to the surprising weather. Thanks, and signing off.

We had a really good experience staying at Banabas homestay. The homestay has a really good valley view and a direct Mt Kachenjunga view from terrace and two of their rooms. Our host Prashanth and his mom made sure we had really good food and we had some nice conversation with them. They are very welcoming and accommodating. My mom, aunt and me had a nice stay here.
