I and 3 of my friends with our wives visited beautiful North Sikkim in first week of may, 2017. We visited Gurudombar lake, Zero point, yumthang vally then on the way back we planned our trip to a serene, unexplored Lepcha village of North Sikkim, Dzongu. We stayed in Lingthem Lyang Homestay run by Sangdup Lepcha. As this place is a Lepcha village, we needed prior permission to go there. Sangdup arranged everything for us. This place has so many things to offer: Beautiful view of Kanchenjunga, the lush green paddy fields, Monastery(Men/women), beautiful lakes, water falls, Hotspring, hanging bridge, green hills, and above all calmness of nature. Here you can feel the beauty of nature.

The breathtaking view of Kanchenjunga mesmerized us. Ramden, the Magic man of the homestay, helped us in adventures trips around the mountains. We were mesmerized by the calmness of the monastery at the top of the mountain. Then he guided us to the lake, beautiful river, hanging bridge, hotspring. We took bath at the hotspring. It was a beautiful sightseeing guided by Ramden. But, we missed the visit to the beautiful water falls due to lack of time. We have to visit this place to explore this beautiful Lepcha village again with more time.
The Queen of the kitchen, Mrs. Yanzay Lepcha fed us with all kind of Lepcha cuisine. She is a lady who has smile always in her face.
The most important part about the homestay I wanna share is that this homestay is at top of the hill, so the view of the Himalayan range and paddy fields from this homestay is incomparable. So, request all of you to come and explore this beautiful Lepcha village of North Sikkim and definitely try to book Lingthem Lyang Homestay

Photo Credit: Pritam Pramanik Sikkim is always very close to my heart. I try to visit Sikkim once in each year. This year along with Lachung, Lachen, Yumthang and Gurudongmar we( a team of four families) got an opportunity to explore a placid, divine village of North Sikkim namely Dzongu. We did not know much about the place at the time of planning the trip. Most of the tourists prefer to stay in Gangtok after hectic North Sikkim tour. And this came as bliss to us a as we always prefer to stay in some calm, serene place rather to stay in a tumultuous, crowded city. And that’s why on the way back from Lachung we planned to stay at Lingthem Lyang homestay in Dzongu for two nights. The time we spent at our homestay along with the sweet experiences of exploring the small Lepcha village was the main reason that made this tour a memorable one. I have no words to explain the experience of our journey to reach the homestay on the top of the hill from the foothills in a rainy night. It was

An image of the front of the monastery by our guest Tanmay Sen who visited us from Midnapore  The Buddhist monastery in the village Lingthem is over hundred year old and a pleasant thirty minutes walk across the greenery of the mountain from the Lingthem Lyang Home stay. Our guests never fail to undertake this walk to the monastery, and come back with a lifetime experience of peace, serenity and fulfillment. A slow and steady walk unfolds gems of scene, sound, and sweet memories. One of the most immediate benefit is that it fills your lungs with purest of oxygen, massages your muscles, and makes you much stronger and sturdier. our guests dev and prabuddh, on the monastery trail, whistling a song in chorus with chirping birds, gushing streams, and rustling trees Our guest from Germany Johanna and her father loved to take note of several places on the way to the monastery.

Inside Lingthem Lyang Home Stay

It is modest, but clean, comfortable, and overlooking the serene range of the Himalayas. Though photographs tell only half of the story, here are a few of the clicks that may give some ideas about how it looks and feels from the rooms at the home stay. This is right when you enter the premises of the homestay. You are greeted by our humility and salutation, while the mountainous surrounding welcomes you too. As you walk up, you notice the wooden exteriors with tender windows opening on the hills smiling and inviting you for an intimate stay. As you step inside your room, you notice the soft cushions, clean bed-spread, all that is needed, available inside the room, warm enough in the effect of wooded ceiling, floor, and window seals. and while you you are enjoying your stay in your room while looking at the green mountains through your windows, you feel like visiting our kitchen, another exquisite struct
