Vacation rentals in Suryodaya

We were looking for a quiet corner in Darjeeling - away from the bustle and chaos of the Mall Road. Gurjeeb's place is perfect for that. It's located about 3 km away from the Mall Road, which gives it the kind of quiet and serenity we were after. One needs to drive about a minute down from the main road and then take a flight of stairs to reach Gurjeeb's place so if you want very easy accessibility, this is something you should consider. But the property itself is worth the effort. The room in the attic is big and pretty, with all basic amenities available. A special shoutout to Gurjeeb's cousin Sujan who looked after us very well and took care of all our needs. He helped us get our luggage up and down the property - which would have been a hassle otherwise - and made amazing local food for us. The Happy Valley Tea Estate is a 10-minute walking distance from here and it's quaint, quiet and amazing. Loved the overall vibe of the place and will love to return in the future.

The Homestay - Humble. If you're seeking peace and tranquility, you must come here. Sit by the window and all you see is the lush green panorama, all you hear is the endless chirping of birds. And when you see the clouds rolling in through the valley, you may never want to leave. The Host - Like a brother, he took care of us. Prakash bhai was there when our flight was hours late and we arrived post midnight. He did complain a bit, but that's his pahadi sense of humour. Never said no to any requests/demands. He offered us snacks+coffee+rum, and did not charge a single penny more, even though all of it was out of his meal plan. And he suggested us hikes/treks around Gurdum. This is where Chandan bhai comes in. The man not only cooked for us, but was also our guide on a short but thrilling hike to Dumbarkhola falls. Amenities - Basic. Clean room, delicious food. If you're a yak/pork lover, ask for it. 3 meals, 2 tea+snacks per day is offered at ₹600. Come here, rediscover yourself.

Had the most amazing time at Norbu Gokyil in Darjeeling! The place is super peaceful, tucked away just enough from the town to feel calm but still close enough to everything. The best part though was the lovely family hosting us — all four of them were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. You really feel like you’re staying with friends rather than just renting a place. They were always happy to help, whether it was with local tips or just chatting over tea. And their three adorable dogs made the stay even better — super friendly and so cute! The room was clean, cozy, and perfect to come back to after a day of exploring. The food was also really good and homely — just what you’d want in a place like this. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful, heartwarming stay in Darjeeling. Already missing it!

Staying at Teesta Homestay was an experience to cherish. A perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and breathtaking beauty. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home, welcomed by the kind-hearted owner and the ever-caring staff. Their hospitality was as heartwarming as the serene surroundings. Nestled in an exotic location, the homestay offered a mesmerizing view that unfolded like a dream. Standing on my balcony, I was left speechless by the sheer magnificence of nature’s artistry. An ever changing canvas of mist kissed hills and tranquil landscapes. Every moment spent there was nothing short of magical, making it a stay to remember. If you seek peace, beauty, and genuine hospitality, Teesta Homestay is an experience not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Scenic beautiful and peaceful…. These are just few words to describe this serene property in Kalimpong. Our host was proactive suggesting best route to the place, restaurants or sightseeing that were unmissable. We wanted to stay in Kalimpong to escape the noise and crowd in other major tourist spots and this bnb was perfect for it… Im sure I can come back to this place again and again. If anyone is coming to Sikkim or Darjeeling, they should set aside 2 nights at least to live away from hustle and bustle and try this Bnb.

The property is located in the mid of a tea garden. Beautiful place. Perfect for spending some time in the midst of lush green scenic beauty. On top of it Rebika is an awesome host. She took care of us very well. Approaching road is not perfect. But it's worth the trouble once you reach the place.

This place was truly beautiful. The room was exactly same as it was described rather better than how it was described. Truly very good hospitality. Ramita was very responsive all the times. She has arranged for what we've asked for. Good homely food. Ganga and the other girl was a very sweet girl and very responsive too. Lastly when we were leaving, Ramita came with us to the car to say good bye. See I know you'll get lots of Homestays with a cheeper price. But if you prefer quality time and good hospitality in a heritage bunglow then this is the place. They have so many dogs also they are friendly too. So if you are a dog lover then definitely go for it.

Where to begin… Staying at Sristi’s farm was such an authentic and unforgettable experience. I had the chance to live alongside Sristi and her lovely family, and it gave me a genuine glimpse into their way of life. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home — Sristi has such a warm, welcoming energy, and we connected really naturally. She quickly felt more like a friend than a host. We shared some amazing moments together, including a trip to a beautiful river. There’s so much to do around the farm — whether you’re in the mood for hiking, exploring the nearby village (don’t miss the best samosa in West Sikkim!), or simply unwinding and soaking in the peaceful nature all around. And I can’t forget to mention the food — absolutely delicious, every single meal! Needless to say, I highly recommend staying here. It’s a special place, and one I’ll carry with me for a long time. Thank you Sristi!!! Until next time 🫶🏼
