The stay is around a natural reserve of the Lepcha people in Dzongu. It falls entirely in the Kanchenjunga biosphere reserve with the far fringes in the Kanchenjunga national park. This hamlet is often ignored by the tourists but the real beauty lies in the surrounding destinations of Lachen, Lachung, Yumthang valley and Gurudrongmar Lake
Inhabitants of the village consider the Folklore and lepcha teachings a lot and your stay with them will allow you to experience this, this village holds a big significance to the Lepchas of Sikkim with each place having its own story attached to it.
The people here lead a self-sustained lifestyle. The place has a motor-able road that crosses over the top of Teesta river dam. The threat of landslides remains in the minds of villagers in the monsoons but they have come up with stronger management to prevent such calamities together. With all the spectacular offerings, this village is renowned for village tourism and the local lifestyle.
The house is built partly with bamboo and mud and the open community kitchen allows the guests to be able to sit with the family while having their meals. You will be able to see that the cooking practice that takes place over the open and slow burning wood though takes a lot of time to prepare the food, but does not seem too long as the conversations keep going, the house gives a very rural feeling owing to the traditional manual methods adopted for the construction of this homestay, traditionally designed by the Lepcha communities
