Lovely quiet place within the lap of the Himalayas. The homestay is very cosy with wonderful family members, ever ready to make one's stay comfortable and memorable. The owners Pranesh and his wife are excellent loving persons. The place has got immense potential to become a popular tourist resort. Our best wishes for their welfare.

The host of the property is very well helpful. He takes good care of the guest. We travelled with our pet dog. He arranged the food for our dog and also guided our tour plan from zuluk to Nathula Pass. He and his wife served hot homemade tasty food which made the stay worthy. Good wishes to both you and your both sons.

We were on our way to Zuluk and needed permit from Rongli police check post but we were late as permit office is open only till 4 PM so we had to stay at Rongli to get permit on next day after searching a while online found this property listed at a decent rate so booked it. The property is on the road only so it was easy to reach as we were on our own vehicle. We were welcomed by the owner and the rooms were good and the view from balcony was great. Overall great place to stay. One cons is that bathroom is not attached to the rooms and rooms are not very large

Didn't stayed here but had a coffee break . Great host and location beside the river. Again motion sickness people be careful. Roads are in not good shape due to frequent landslides. As this is less visited place so you will find very less people here but they are all helpful and nice people.

We recently stayed at this homestay for two nights, and overall, it was a decent experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and check-in/check-out was smooth. The owner was very decent and polite, They greet us in very good gesture. The homestay is far from Aritar sightseeing. This is back side of Aritar, Lamphokri Lake and far from rongli local market. Overall they stays was good and food was testy and the behaviour of owner and others very good.
