On of the best homestays I have stayed till now. The food that was served was actually grown by them in their farm, so it was very delicious and fresh. Our host was very nice specially rupesh who took utmost care that we were fed properly. Would recommend everyone to atleast try their hospitality for once and I would try to visit atleast once every few months ☺️.

Had a truly memorable stay at Kaffer Gaon. The owner and his family welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home from the very beginning. The food was one of the best parts of the stay. They served fresh organic saag from their own farm and homemade ghee made from the milk of their cows. Everything tasted fresh, simple, and authentic. The homestay blends beautifully with the peaceful village surroundings, full of colourful flowers and amazing Kanchenjunga views. A perfect place if you want a real village homestay experience with genuine hospitality.

Kaffergaon homestay was not just a destination; it was an experience nestled in the loving embrace of the mountains. From the moment we arrived, Karma Ji's heartfelt hospitality made us feel at home. Rupesh, with his ever-smiling face, fulfilled every little request with warmth and care. Dadi Ji, finding joy in the rhythm of her daily work, added a beautiful touch of simplicity and grace to our stay. The delicious lunches,evening snacks and dinners were a delight, and the fresh salads were truly unforgettable. Nikki and Coco, the sweetest furry companions, filled our days with laughter and joy through their playful antics. Lost among the whispering pine forests and surrounded by the serenity of the hills, we found moments that will remain etched in our hearts forever. May these mountains continue to stand tall in their timeless beauty, and may Karma Ji and his wonderful family always be blessed with happiness, health, and prosperity. From sahachari bhowmik and family. Until we meet again, Kaffergaon will remain a cherished memory and a piece of our heart.

A hidden gem in the hills: Kafergaon Homestay If you are planning a trip to the Darjeeling hills but want to avoid the traffic, crowds, and commercial bustle of Darjeeling town, I strongly recommend considering Kafergaon Homestay. My recent stay there turned out to be one of the most relaxing and memorable mountain experiences I have had in years. Nestled amidst serene hills and greenery, the homestay offers peace and tranquility. The property consists of four beautifully positioned cottages, each thoughtfully designed and maintained. The cottages are tastefully decorated with warm wooden interiors that create a cozy mountain atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with clean, fully functional washrooms. What impressed me most was the location of the cottages. Step outside and you are greeted by stunning views of the surrounding hills, fresh mountain air, and an overwhelming sense of calm. Whether you are sipping your morning tea on the verandah or simply sitting quietly and enjoying the landscape, the setting encourages you to slow down and reconnect with nature. The hospitality deserves special mention. The hosts make you feel less like a customer and more like a guest in their home. All meals are freshly prepared and served with warmth and care. The homestay provides breakfast, lunch, evening tea with snacks, and dinner. While fish is not served, the chicken and egg preparations are excellent, and every meal reflects the flavours of authentic (pahadi) home cooking. After a day of exploring the hills, returning to a hot, freshly cooked meal was one of the highlights of the stay. What makes Kafergaon particularly special is that it offers everything many travellers seek in Darjeeling- beautiful mountain scenery, cool weather, local culture, and warm hospitality, without the congestion, noise, and overcrowding. It is an ideal destination for families, couples, nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking for a peaceful retreat away from the usual tourist rush. In an era when many hill stations are struggling under the weight of overtourism, places like Kafergaon remind us why we travel in the first place. If your goal is to experience the beauty of the Eastern Himalayas in a tranquil and authentic setting, Kafergaon Homestay is a destination worth choosing over the crowded streets of Darjeeling. My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) "Beautiful cottages, breathtaking views, warm hosts, delicious home-cooked food, and complete peace of mind—a perfect mountain getaway."

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage. The views were beautiful, the food was excellent, and the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. I felt the food had a unique blend of Nepali and Bengali flavours, and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade ghee and fresh chillies from their own garden made the meals even more memorable. We especially enjoyed the morning walks and jungle walks surrounded by nature. The peaceful setting is perfect for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors. P.S. If you plan to go to the jungle walks, be prepared for leeches.

Your own home in the hills awaits. If you’re seeking ultimate relaxation, immerse yourself in the tranquillity of woods and hills, and savour exceptional home-cooked food, your search ends here. Purba Daju and his lovely family will go above and beyond to ensure your stay is truly memorable. We were a group of nine, including children, and every moment spent was a treasure. We want to express our deepest gratitude for their hospitality. My daughter was unwell, and they made separate food and were always on hand to offer further assistance. Key highlights include: 1. Homegrown organic vegetables. 2. A customisable menu (please be reasonable with your requests, as they do everything themselves). 3. Comfortable rooms with two beds and a clean bathroom equipped with a geyser. 4. Mimo, a smart and adorable child who served as a mini guide and quickly bonded with our children. 5. Top-notch hospitality that surpasses all expectations. Best wishes
