Nice cozy homestay, decent rooms, well behaved staff. Good Food, quite flexible in terms of handling customer requests. The owner Mrs Pramila is a nice lady. Highly recommended for a weekend offbeat stay. If weather permits you will really enjoy the scenic beauty. Only six rooms, book early.

Best homestay of kalimpong. Rooms are very clean. Most attractive point is the location. A complete 360 degree mountain view you can enjoy here. Kanchenjunga is visible from the room, you just need to open the window. Service is also very good. We have already visited 5 times. Many more to go

Very beautiful — the view is incredibly amazing. The weather changes every 30 minutes, and with it the view also changes. From the homestay, Himali Park is right in front. There is also a grocery shop just in front of the homestay. The behavior of the homestay staff is very good. The homemade food is also very tasty, just like food at home. They will even ask you what you want to eat and cook it according to your choice. It was a wonderful experience. If I go there again, I will definitely stay at this homestay again.

খুব সুন্দর লোকেশানে অবস্থিত এই হোমস্টেটি , হোমস্টের মালিকের ব্যাবহার খুবই ভালো আর খাওয়াদাওয়া নিয়েতো কোনো কথাই হবেনা একদম সুস্বাদু ঘরোয়া বাঙালী খাবার . এখান থেকে কাঞ্চনজঙ্ঘা খুব ভালোভাবে দেখা যায়

It provides awesome ambience with full of serinity and cordial hospitality by the owner Suman and Papiya. Moreover it simultaneously gives the views of both Tista river and the beautiful Kanchanjunga from the rooms during our stays for some days in the month of January 2nd week.

From this homestay-balconies and garden one can have the thrilling view of the meandering River Teesta and the majestic Mountain Range of the Kanchenjunga in one frame. The rooms are mostly with views of numerous mountains, forests, and panoramic views of the valley. Although this is a budget homestay, services, rooms, food quality and hospitality are of very high standards.

What makes Ekta Homestay truly special is the peaceful vibe of the village, the genuine hospitality, and the chance to connect with nature and the local culture. Whether you're looking for a relaxing escape or a soulful experience in the hills, this place is perfect. I’m already dreaming of going back.The rooms were clean and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery and hills from the balcony. The hosts were incredibly warm, kind, and attentive, always going out of their way to make sure every moment was comfortable and memorable.Highly recommended for anyone seeking beauty, peace, and heartfelt hospitality in Kalimpong.
