Icchey Gaon Homestays

If you are tired of the traffic, the heat, the noise, and the same old holiday crowd, it’s time you discover a secret in the hills—Icchey Gaon, a place where time slows down, stress disappears, and nature becomes your closest companion. For Bengali tourists who love offbeat hill stations, Icchey Gaon is a dream come true.

At an altitude of 5800 feet, Icchey Gaon (also spelt Ichhegaon) means “topmost village” in the Lepcha language, and it fits perfectly—this tiny hamlet sits right at the top of the world, or at least it feels that way when you’re standing there watching Mount Kanchenjunga glowing golden during sunrise.

It’s only about 15 kilometres from Kalimpong and around 83 kilometres from Siliguri, but it feels like a different planet altogether. The silence here is soothing, broken only by the sound of birds, rustling leaves, or the gentle wind whispering through Pine, Birch, and Juniper forests. The air is pure, the views are unforgettable, and the hospitality? It’s something that stays in your heart long after the trip ends.

The Homestay Experience in Icchey Gaon

In Icchey Gaon, a homestay is the real way to stay. It is also the only option since it is a forest village and there are no hotels available in the village. The village has just about 30 families, and most of them offer homestay accommodations built with love and care. These are not fancy places, but wooden cottages tucked into the hillsides or perched above the valley, offering jaw-dropping views and a chance to live close to nature.

The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable. But the real luxury lies in the experience. You’ll be served piping hot food, made with local organic produce and seasoned with love. Imagine waking up to a fog-covered forest, sipping tea with a view of the Kanchenjunga, and ending your day with warm food and the twinkling lights of Darjeeling, Ravangla, and Sikkim sparkling in the distance.
