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.

  My husband and I were the first guests of the newly opened Lingthem Lyang Homestay. We were interested in exploring an off the beaten path destination of North Sikkim and were recommended to check out Dzongu Valley by BB Line Tours in Gangtok. They recommended this homestay and after a long and bumpy journey, we finally made it. We greatly enjoyed our stay with Sangdup and his lovely family. Sangdup is a wealth of information on the Lepcha community, Dzongu Valley, and North Sikkim. Both Sangdup and his family were amazing, going out of their way to make sure we completely enjoyed our stay. During our stay, we enjoyed challenging hikes in the countryside. The views of the mountains and hills are stunning. Linda Wu and Steven Buik Walser, Lovers of Himalayas from Washington D.C, USA
