I am glad to make the decision to stay at Lingthem Lyang Homestay, away from the noisy and crowded city. As the only tourist here, I feel immersed in the peaceful and tranquility environment in Dzongu. Over the past few days, I did the trek alone to the monastery and to the school and was welcome by the friendly teachers and student over there.

Also, I did the waterfall trek (Tough for those non hikers)

And have the honour to walked across the newly builded bamboo bridge. For the entire stay, Sangdup take care of me very well. His cooking was also one of the hightight in this trip. Over all here, everything are moving slow, enjoying the simplest of things where big city people tend to forget. Simplicity is the best.
Thank you Sangdup and the monk for the warm hospitality

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. For them, the passage was as enriching as the destination. Our German guest Johhana clicking pictu

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
