Monthly Rentals in Darap

The stay and service provided was top notch. But I would like to mention 2 issues. 1. The location displayed even after booking is not accurate. 2. The host was unresponsive due to some personal reasons but that affected our check in.

As a solo traveler I wanted to experience Darjeeling like a local, and I must say I got really lucky to find Sahil’s place. He is a really great host and gem of a person. And his place has some of best views you will get to experience in Darjeeling. I spent hours working from his cafeteria and for my fellow Digital Nomads, the WiFi worked great to even have good quality video calls! I couldn’t ask for more, tbh! This guy always made sure that I was enjoying my time during my stay at his place. Since I wanted to experience Darjeeling like a local he also took me around to such raw untouched places that as a tourist I’d have never found in Darjeeling. All in all I’d say his place is a safe haven and it gave me so many things in return that I’d definitely come back again.

Sristi's mud house is straight out of a fairy tale - magical , mystical and dreamy. Highly recommend it to someone looking to live a slow life in hinterlands. The house is built with a lot of care and thought. The artefacts of bamboo and wood give it an earthy charm. One can spend hours here with nature - the surrounding forest sounds , clear night sky and village / farm walks rekindled our spirits. Sristi herself and her family are very warm and welcoming. The food they cook on a wood fired cookstove is simple and delicious. Thanks for everything Sristi , including the small picnic at the river. PS - don't forget to ask for Shimpu Guras wine prepared from Rhododendron!

Tranquil, that's how I felt at Eshab's Homestay. It was really a home away from home. The friendly doggos and the ever so attentive staff were always ready to assist with a smile. Food at the restaurant was delicious, the never ending cups of steaming hot milk tea, the drizzle of the rain and the cold crisp air was perfect indeed. We were regaled with karaoke at their bar and restaurant, and on our last night, upon the owner's insistence, we even gave it a shot! We stayed for 4 nights and it was worth it. We did a fair bit of sightseeing (Pelling, Chakung etc) and leisurely walks up to the monastery and the falls. They even provide you with umbrellas! Everything was well managed by the kind staff - Alisha, Rohit, Susma, Kabita and a few others including the happy and helpful young men who drove us around ( namely RK, Pasang and Tashi) - and the pleasant and chatty owner, Kesang's dad who was a total sweetheart! Thank you to all of you for your care. X
