Orientation
The Aritar Humro Home is one of the better choices for tourist accommodation in Aritar. This can be your base for tours to East Sikkim and Dzuluk area. This accommodation is located about 3 km from the Aritar Lake, yet the area is secluded where you can enjoy complete peace and tranquility amidst nature.
The Property
Humro Home Aritar is a tourist accommodation in Aritar in East Sikkim. With about a dozen rooms to accommodate guests, this is slightly larger than a standard Home Stay. Yet this is not a typical resort or a hotel, as the owner and his family take a hands-on approach towards hosting the guests in a personalized and homely manner. Rather than staying in a typical Aritar Lake Hotels, your experience in our Home lodge is a combination of Homely atmosphere with the amenities of a Hotel.
Food
We serve Indian and Sikkimese food at our Aritar Guest House. Local culinary and organic food is preferred. The food is clean, hygienic and sumptuous. We also try to serve guest preference on advance notice. The nearest market is about 15 minutes away and hence last minute special food orders cannot be served. The detailed food menu is available in the room.

Location
The Home Stay is located about 3 km away from Aritar lake in a perfectly peaceful and natural surrounding. The main road is just next to the accommodation so that you will have minimal difficulty in locating the Home Stay. Yet it is an abode of peace and tranquillity.

More ReviewsGetting There
From NJP to Aritar is a drive of about 4 hours. You have to drive to Ranpo where you cross the border and enter Sikkim from Bengal. Take a less-traveled path from here which will pass through Rorathang and Rhenok to reach our Home Lodge at Aritar.
If you are coming from Kalimpong, you can travel via Pedong – Reshi, and Rhenok to reach Aritar. Guests going from Aritar to Gangtok or coming from Gangtok to Aritar may drive to Rangpo and then take the same route as suggested for guests traveling from NJP, the alternative route is to take a detour from the national highway at Ranipool near Gangtok and Pakyong bound road. Both roads will take you to Aritar by covering a similar distance of about 70 km.

Visit Zuluk - Aritar tour is incomplete without a visit to the famous Zuluk route. Aritar is the ideal base for your tour of the famous Silk Route. We take you to Zuluk, Gnathang Valley and Baba Mandir on a day trip from here. Compared to local accommodation available in Zuluk area, Aritar is a much better proposition with no shortage of water, better service, rooms, and more regular electricity. All these basics are often found missing in the higher altitude accommodations closer to Zuluk. As a result, guests prefer to base their Silk route tour from Aritar.
