Chumbi Residency

Norkhill

Buddhist prayer flags flutter above this gorgeously situated and well-run family guesthouse with real Sikkimese flavor. It's owned by the warmly aristocratic Denzong family, who are always pleased to introduce guests to local culture. All accommodations are unique; four guest rooms are in the main house and six are in the colorful annex, with its traditional rainbow-hued Sikkimese-style facade. Guest rooms are simple but lovely, and have good, comfortable mattresses covered in crisp white linen. Carefully prepared traditional four-course Sikkimese meals are served in the dining room; just below is a charming Sikkimese-style living room with an old-fashioned wood-burning heater. There's also a lovely bar.

This is the home of the Denzongpas, a Sikkimese family long-rooted in Sikkim. At Netuk House, guests can experience the traditional and unaffected hospitality of the Denzong family, enjoy delicious Sikkimese food and drink, and entertainment. They can learn about the ethnic culture of the people as yet unspoiled by things modern. The Denzongpas act as "friend and guide" to their guests.

Location

The House is ideally located on Tibet Road, which was the principal road to Tibet in the old days when trade flourished between Tibet and Sikkim.
