Hospitality - 5/5 Behaviour - 5/5 Hygiene - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Ths USP of this property is that they have a in house buddhist temple of total one floor and you can really have a peaceful, mindful, spritual time in that temple. Believe me, that is something, keeping sometime out of you tight schedule and spend sometime with yourself in that temple, only you and the spirit within. A homestay totally run by ladies, one mother and her daughters. They are not business minded, they know how to take care of guest with compassion, respect. Taking about behaviour and service, they really do justice of the concept of 'Homestay'. It really felt amazing staying with them, have home cooked fresh food, those chitchat, getting to know each other. What they are charging, is in the lesser side of what other will ask in Darjeeling or Karseong areas keeping in mind the service and hospitality they are providing. They voluntarily gave option of momos in evening snacks while asked for options other than tipical veg or chicken pakoda and that was so delicious. Point to be noted, this is rare in such homestays. I am not providing much photos because I found this property as it is as claimed by other Google images.

There is a white small furry dog which we fell in love with. The owner and kitchen staff are really nice people. You can easily go trekking to the forest from here and see some nice waterfalls. The main road is quite steep so if you have a scooty(and two people) make sure you push that accelerator to max from the beginning when you turn into this upper Sonada region.
