Nestled in a remarkably quiet and scenic location, this homestay offers an absolutely delightful experience for anyone seeking peace, tranquility, and breathtaking natural beauty. One of the most remarkable features is the panoramic view it offers. On a clear day, the majestic Kanchenjunga range dominates the horizon, visible directly from the cozy room windows and spacious balcony. Waking up to such an awe-inspiring vista is an unforgettable experience and a true highlight of staying here. What truly sets Green Woods Homestay apart, however, is the heartwarming hospitality extended by the owners and their family. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in a warmth that makes you feel less like a guest and more like a cherished family member. And then there are the meals! Each dish is prepared with care and bursts with authentic, flavorful tastes that perfectly complements the serene surroundings, leaving you satisfied and eager for the next delicious offering.

Samthar was not in my plan and honestly I came to know about this place cause of Crystal Cottage's (Sillerygaon) owner Chiranjit. It is a very nice suggestion and we enjoyed the stay for one night a lot. The deck, the view, the seat in the nearby sharp turn. At night we were literally floating in the clouds and we could see and feel that. While the night sky was clear, Niraj (supervisor of the homestay) helped us to locate Darjeeling, Delo and Kalimpong with their amazing night lights in the dark canvas. The deck with pegs of rum and chandrabindu, anjan dutta's songs was telling us why we should make a pause in this fast paced life. The morning view of Kanchenjunga was mind blowing. We stared at that for almost two hours and were still not tired. Witnessing this in Monsoon, many will be jealous we know that. Niraj also helped us arrange a shared car for us. If we go to samthar again, this will be our stay for sure.
