Very bad behavior of staff here, Charged extra but did not give us breakfast in the morning even though we left the room at seven o'clock.

We stayed at Panbu View Point Homestay on 27th May, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Waking up to such beautiful scenery was one of the highlights of our trip. The hosts are incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and were always ready to help with a smile. The food was another standout feature—freshly prepared, delicious, and full of local flavors. The homestay is clean, peaceful, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. The combination of great hospitality, amazing food, and a fantastic location made our stay memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and making our stay so special. See you soon, Panbu View Point Homestay! ❤️

No view from most of the rooms, food is average, it's not a proper homestay but a hotel (kind of) . We paid 1400 per head without lunch which is expensive. I have stayed at better places for cheaper. Overall a below average experience.

Absolutely worth visit. 360° view of kanchanjunga range in a 100m waking distance. Great organic food straight from the garden.

I had an amazing stay at The Panbu Dara View Homestay during my recent trip to Kalimpong. The hospitality I received from the owner Santosh Rai, was exceptional—he went out of his way to ensure that every part of my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The homestay was spotless, cozy, and offered stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The food was another standout feature—fresh, home-cooked meals that were both delicious and wholesome. This Homestay is the perfect choice for anyone looking for great hospitality, scenic views, and a peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend staying here, and I look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you, Santosh Ji for such a wonderful experience!

“Some views stay in the eyes, but some experiences stay in the heart.” My stay at Panbu Dara View Point Homestay was truly one of those heart-touching experiences. A heartfelt thank you to Santosh ji, the owner, whose humble nature and warm hospitality made our visit incredibly comforting. The location is absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the panoramic mountain views felt magical. The rooms were clean, the food was homely and delicious, and the entire atmosphere was peaceful. Special thanks to Gopal Thapa ji and Bidai Sherpa ji, for their guidance and support throughout the trip. Truly grateful for such a beautiful stay and the serene memories we carried back with us. 🌄✨
