Hillside Homestay: Wake Up Above the Clouds
If you are looking for a place where the only alarm clock is the chirping of mountain birds and the first thing you see is the sun hitting the peaks, Hillside Homestay is your ultimate sanctuary. Perched on the verdant slopes of North Bengal, this stay is designed for those who want to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature.
🍃 The Experience
Hillside Homestay isn't just about a room; it’s about the vantage point. Situated at an elevation that offers a panoramic 180° view of the surrounding valleys, it provides a front-row seat to the changing colors of the Himalayan sky.
Architectural Charm: Built with locally sourced stone and wood to keep you cozy.
Organic Living: Most of the vegetables served at your table are grown in the kitchen garden right outside your window.
The "Slow" Life: Spend your afternoons on the wide balcony with a book and a steaming mug of local coffee.
🍱 Authentic Mountain Flavors
At Hillside, we believe the heart of a home is the kitchen. Our meals are prepared using traditional recipes passed down through generations:
Breakfast: Traditional Tibetan bread with honey or local style omelets.
Lunch/Dinner: Local chicken curry, seasonal greens, and homemade pickles.
Evening: Hot snacks served around a small bonfire (on request).
