Overall ambience, rooms, and the wonderful hospitality of the hosts Ramila and Shiromani is outstanding! I was there on 20th to 22nd September with my parents above 80 years old. Travelling with seniors is sometimes not so easy but the moment we walked in to little Singamari in Darjeeling, we knew we made the right choice. The host couple made us feel extremely comfortable and they were always available for any advice in terms of sight seeing or tips for shopping. Spending time with them, their son and a cute Puppy named Lucy was the icing on the cake. The food Ramila prepared was simply delicious. Thank you Ramila… have not eaten so well since we left your place. Will be back soon!

I didn’t find any reason to complain!

1. Neat & clean 2. Green 3. Beautiful Mountain View 5. Homely atmosphere

Nothing significant

the cleanliness and the adorable pup

the location

Ramila and her family were exceptional hosts! The food was so fresh and delicious, the conversation was great, the staff awesome! Ramila even made sweets that I told her I enjoy! Most magical views of Kanchenjunga after the clouds lifted. The walk from Little Singamari to the viewing spots was amazing with a temple along the way with the sweetest bhajans. Little Lucy the dog is adorable and so friendly! Everything was wonderful!

Nothing.

It was a home like experience! The hosts and their property was very good!

The host family was very nice and open to talk. They suggested ways to walk to the center as well as what we could do. They even serve dinner which they cook freshly and help you learn how they usually eat in Darjeeling.

If you are looking for a warm, cozy home amidst the Eastern Himalayas, this is the place to be. It was extremely difficult in the beginning to choose a homestay just by looking at Booking.com but I am eternally glad that I made this choice. The family, especially the lady running this property have a century-old history to share. Yet, the property goes beyond the trappings of history to provide a homely experience at every hour. Local food is cooked in generous amounts and each meal would be tailor made for you based on your cravings. Darjeeling being a tourist spot has luxurious hotels in abundance however what creates a new experience in such tourist hotspots is the touch of home. It often happens that we bring our biases to a place as a tourist and avoid listening to the local voices. Homestay such as this helps one unlearn and truly understand the community that occupies it. If you are still looking for a hotel, this may not be the place. If you are looking for a home, these doors won’t turn back on you. :)

Located just 2 kms away from the hustle bustle of main Darjeeling town, this homestay is a complete bliss. We woke up to such a serene view, and the calmness in and around the property- the exact break that we were looking for from our daily lifestyle . Special mention about the host Ramila- a wonderful and charming lady, who was always there to assist us, and we had some nice conversations too. The food she cooked, will make you feel just as a home away from home. Can’t miss mentioning Lucy, their pet, who was as warm and welcoming. :) Everyone and everything in this place have a feel good factor, and I will recommend highly to experience this serenity. Definitely will be back there again. Thank you for the experience, Little Singamari Homestay :D
