Agroturismos en Kalimpong

Adya India

Palighar has for us been more than a farmstay. It has been an experience unlike any other. The property is situated at a distance of around 8 kilometers from the city of Kalimpong and in the midst of farming communities in Lower Ecchey. Ahana and Kabir have painstakingly created an extremely comfortable farmstay in the countryside. Ahana’s expertise in whipping up authentic nepali and bhutanese cuisine, especially by using the ingredients grown on their farm is a testament to the quality of food as well as being true to the oft-quoted term of being ‘farm-to-table’. The farmstay, we believe, also held our appeal because of our personal individual interests in experiencing living in the actual countryside, away from the din of the cities and towns. That being said, the approach road to the farmstay [for the last 100 meters or so] is bumpy and unpaved, however that should not take away from the comfort and the lovely food that the farmstay does provide. We also decided to take a hike down to the Relli river. Kabir’s affable nature throughout the hike and his insight into the people of Kalimpong and its surrounding villages was extremely informative and left us with a wonderful experience from the trip. Our experience at Palighar can be summed up with a simple conclusion, we stayed and experienced a part of Kalimpong, as one would, if they had stayed with family and friends. Lastly, we would also like to thank Sanjay Dai for his magnanimous smile and helpful nature in working alongside Ahana in serving us delicious meals throughout our stay at Palighar. Adya & Abhimanyu
