We visited Kalimpong with family for 2 days and stayed at Tenam Garden Homestay. We had a good time there. The place is bit away from the main town but that's what we wanted. The food was not fancy but good and made to order. The dining space is awesome and you can spend your time there itself with many books around. The nursery is a good addition. The hosts are wonderful & homely. We had good conversations. She also helped in arranging car for our pickup from NJP and day trips. In short a lovely stay and we would always recommend.

I visited Tenam Garden for a day, and it turned out to be one of the most enriching homestay experiences I’ve had in many years of travel. The property is almost 10 km away from kelimpong, nestled amidst lush greenery. The quiet, the forest, and even spotting a few beautiful birds made it feel deeply restorative. It’s the kind of place where you slow down without trying. There is a thoughtfully curated nursery on the campus, and a peaceful shala where they offer in-house Ayurvedic treatments, along with space for yoga and meditation. The intent behind the space is visible. you can feel it in how everything is designed and held together. The food was simple and delicious, with a special mention for their pickles. What stayed with me most was the people. There is a genuine sense of care and belonging. Even in a short visit, they made me feel at home. If you are looking for a quiet, intentional space to pause and reconnect, even a day at Tenam Garden is worth it.

Really brilliant place in a nice and quiet part of the area surrounded by lovely flowers and really friendly workers. They have a really cozy "Bhutan house" made out of repurposed Bhutanese materials which is very unique, and they serve really delicious food and drinks in their cafe which is very cozy too! Amazing place to stay!

Beautiful and authentic experience in the green and serene outskirts of Kalimpong. With a beautiful restaurant and garden in a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. They also have a plant nursery and a hall for yoga and Ayurveda massages. Very kind family; they will share with you delicious food and homemade alcohol, and take you on beautiful and interesting tours in monasteries and the surrounding area.

Namaste 🙏 I stayed at Tenam Garden for 25 days and it has been one of the best homestay experiences in my travel as a nomad. They are located away from the busy center of the town amongst lush green forests, where I got to see some exotic species of birds. They have a lovely nursery, where one can buy plants. They also have a shala with in-house ayurvedic treatments, and to practise yoga and meditation. The food at their restaurant Mikoto is delicious and a lot of thought and effort have been put into the interiors, especially the rock wall. A special mention to the Amma of the home, who is extremely sweet, makes her own pickles, atleast 15 different varieties which are amaze, and you can also buy to take home. She also brews her own wine, which was unlike anything I have tasted before. Also, there are 4 super friendly dogs at the property, who love to play and snuggle. Everyone made me feel at home from the very first day, treated me as part of their family and went out of their way to nurse me back to health when I fell sick. I am extremely grateful to have met such a loving family and spend some quality time with them 🤗❤️
