Nepal Village Homestay

Situated in the lush hills of Barobote, just 6 km from Illam Bazaar on the road to Maipokhari, Nepal Village Homestay is a one-of-a-kind retreat rooted in seven generations of family heritage. Nestled in the heart of a 100-year-old personal tea garden at 1,500 metres above sea level, this conservation homestay established in 1994 blends authentic Nepali village life with genuine adventure in the tea country of Eastern Nepal. Wake up to sweeping 360-degree panoramic views of rolling tea hills and snow-capped Himalayan peaks, including glimpses of Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest mountain. Breathe in the mist of rhododendron forests, listen to the morning chorus of birds, and step straight from your room into a working organic tea garden. Here, guests can pick tea leaves by hand, learn the full tea-processing journey, and take home their very own handmade Illam tea as a truly unforgettable souvenir. The homestay accommodates up to 15 to 20 guests across comfortable rooms, including a traditional bamboo cottage and a spacious heritage room, all featuring ethnic décor, attached bathrooms, balconies, and garden views. Complimentary breakfast, free-range organic Nepali meals, and freshly brewed estate tea are served daily in the outdoor dining area. Beyond the tea garden, Nepal Village Homestay is your adventure base for Eastern Nepal. Trek the scenic Tea Trail to Antu Danda for a legendary Himalayan sunrise, explore the Ramsar-listed Mai Pokhari Wetland, trek toward Sandakphu on the Singalila ridge, encounter the rare Red Panda at the Ramshar site at 2,500 metres, or raft the thrilling Tamor River just 90 minutes away. The sacred Pathibhara Temple and vibrant Kanyam Tea Garden are also within easy reach. Hosted by the Gurung family, warm, English-speaking, and deeply rooted in Limbu and local hill culture, every stay feels less like accommodation and more like coming home.
