About Nikki’s Homestay
Nikki's Homestay is a homestay in Pemayangtse & Naku-Chumbong, Pelling (Road, Pelling, chumbong, Sikkim 737113). The nearest major sight is Upper Pelling helipad ground, roughly 1.4 km away by road, and Pemayangtse Monastery is about 2.0 km away.
Homestays around Pelling are usually family-run, with home-cooked meals and a personal welcome — good for travellers who want local life over hotel facilities. We are confirming room types, facilities and current rates directly with the property — send a booking request with your dates and we will come back with availability and a final price.
The Pemayangtse and Naku-Chumbong belt lies east of Upper Pelling towards Pemayangtse Monastery and the Rabdentse Ruins. Properties here are quieter and often set in gardens or forest with open northern views; you will usually need a car to reach the market, and some approach roads are rough.
