Absolutely great experience. Rooms are clean, food is good, you can view Kanchenjunga from balcony. And most importantly, the behaviour of the staff is very polite and good. Weekend spent well, highly recommended.

"We had a wonderful stay at this homestay in Sittong. The location is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful hills, greenery, and stunning mountain views. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The hosts were extremely warm, friendly, and made us feel at home. The homemade food was delicious and fresh. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying the serene atmosphere was truly refreshing. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway away from the city crowd, this homestay is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!"

I’m honestly overwhelmed by how much I loved this place. It truly justifies the word “homestay” in every sense.❤ From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality didn’t feel like staff service at all.....it felt like coming home to my own didi and bhaiyya. Their kindness, genuine care, and cheerful presence made the entire stay so personal and comforting. The location is magical. You wake up to a breathtaking, cozy view of rolling mountains, and on clear mornings and with a good luck, Kanchenjunga stands right before you in all its glory. Absolutely stunning. And the food....OMGG..out of this world! Didi cooks the most amazing, soulful meals. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and served so promptly. Not gonna lie, you’ll be licking your fingers after every bite. Not to forget, I must say the rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and super cozy. Plus, there’s ample parking space, which is a huge bonus in the hills. Everything, from food to housekeeping, was timely and thoughtful. I loved it so much that I’ve already decided: I’m coming back next year for sure. If you want peace, views, incredible food, and a family away from home....this is it. Highest recommendation!!!

Stayed here for couple of days during my trip in North Bengal.. If one is travelling to Sittong, look no more and stay at Rai Niwas omestay, Rakesh ji along with his whole family are always available to ensure their guests are not facing any trouble during their stay.
