The hills are best seen from someone’s home
TripToPahar is a directory of homestays in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim and the Dooars. We help you find a family to stay with, see their rooms and their food, and call them to book directly. No booking engine, no commission, no middleman.
Why did we build TripToPahar?
The best stays in the hills are small: a few rooms in a family house above a tea garden, a cottage in an orange orchard, a lodge on a trekking ridge. Most of them have no website, and finding one meant asking friends, scrolling social media, or calling numbers that no longer worked.
We wanted one place to see them properly, with real photos, rooms and prices, and to reach the host in one tap, so more of what travelers spend stays with the families who host them.
