The place is only worthy for bird watchers, that is also for few hours. The homestay is totally unsafe for tourists. No boundary fencing around the property. Steep slopes just in front of the rooms. Overhead hightension electric line risks the life of tourists at any unfortunate situation. Behaviour of the owner is extremely bad. Worst quality of service. Do not bother about the health and comfort of the guests. Very bad experience. If anyone carefully sees the photos will understand the situation.

Great place for a leisure stay for 2 days from the far away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Mr. Naren Kalden, an ex Army man is the owner. Always smiling and welcoming nature. Foods and room service are awesome. Sanil is a great guy and an one man army and very friendly.

Best offbeat near kalimpong

Sinjee a comparatively new location in the domain of homestay world is an excellent serene yet offbeat location. Somewhere "Far from The Madding Crowd". It has lots of it's own charm to mesmerize city bred workaholics like me. Naren Kalden the owner is an Ex Kargil serviceman with a genuine smile and warm behaviour. It's an lovely overall experience for us. Provision of a Room Heater could have served better.
