The Homestay in itself is beautifully simple, comfortable and constructed in the traditional Lepcha way.  Photo Credit: Diego Beauvilliain The surroundings of the places are astonishing, and a lot of different activities and small treks are available in the region. All of these activities provided by Sangdup, who is a wonderful host. Sangdup is extremely friendly, welcoming and will do everything possible so his guests have great experience in his homestay. I had the chance to do various small treks, visit the temple of Lingthem, enjoyed the hot spring, meet a lot of people from the town.....  Photo Credit: Diego Beauvilliain Photo Credit: Diego Beauvilliain Photo Credit: Diego Beauvilliain So, if you ever have the occasion to go to the Lingthem Lyang Homestay, don't hesitate for a second...

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...

Photo credit:Tanmay Sen 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. Photo credit: Tanmay Sen Photo Credit: Tanmay Sen 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 mo...

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...
