Apart from this, it boasts of being a tea house trek! Tea house treks offer a unique blend of adventure and cultural immersion, where each day brings new experiences and warm hospitality. Here are a few things that you can expect from the stays.
Sikkim-Darjeeling belt is one of the most laid back places in the Himalayas! The Gorkhas and Sherpas that reside here are an extremely welcoming and fun loving community. The language commonly spoken here is Nepali. One of the highlights of your trip would be the interaction with the locals and to be able to get a flavour of their culture!
SOME HIGHLIGHTS
Tea Houses
These charming tea houses we'll meet on the way, open their doors to weary trekkers, offering cozy, clean accommodations that reflect the warmth of local culture amid nature!
Authentic Home Stays
Step into the welcoming embrace of local families as you reside in traditional home stays along the trekking route. From comfortable rooms to shared common areas, each tea house is a haven after a day of exploration. While our tea houses may not have in-room heating, fear not!Â
Our blankets provide snug warmth to ensure a comfortable night’s rest. During the colder seasons, some common areas boast heating arrangements, while the starlit nights see campfires ablaze, creating a magical ambiance for sharing stories and forging connections. Most tea houses feature attached western-style toilets, ensuring a level of convenience during your trek. As part of the adventure, the trekker hut in Phalut offers shared Indian-style washrooms, adding a unique touch to your experience
Yoga
Doing yoga while on a trek can be a fantastic way to connect with nature and your body. It allows you to combine the benefits of yoga—such as increased flexibility, strength, and relaxation—with the beauty and serenity of the outdoors. We believe having guides who are also yoga instructors is a fantastic way to ensure a fulfilling experience. They can lead you to breathtaking spots and help tailor your yoga sessions to the surroundings, making the most out of your trekking journey. Their expertise will likely offer you a deeper connection with both the practice of yoga and the natural beauty around you. It's a unique opportunity to enhance your physical and mental well-being while exploring the outdoors. Enjoy every moment of this harmonious blend of yoga and trekking—they're sure to create unforgettable memories!
