Our stay at PaliGhar was something we will cherish for a long time to come. The property and location is very special with its unique climate and vegetation and sustainable approach to tourism. As designers, we really appreciate the architecture and the tasteful interiors that represents the local materials and building cultures. Kabir and Ahana are such inspiring and warm hosts with a  long-term vision for the region and its people. The food, sourced locally (mostly from the PaliGhar farm) is exquisite, so fresh and well curated. You can try various traditional Himalayan dishes, always with a modern twist. The staff are also very friendly and service-oriented. We felt so well looked after.
We would recommend this homestay to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience and get to know the slow pace of life in a mountain village. We ourselves hope to return soon.

Special place with unique climate, sustainable tourism, and beautiful architecture.

We stayed here for three nights at the start of a Sikkim trip. It was a great experience. The accommodation is simple but comfortable and spacious - two adjoining cottages built in the local style with shared balcony. The farm is so peaceful and interesting to see every square metre being used to grow produce. The owners, Karbil and Ahana are a delightful, smart couple who are doing all they can to keep their local community alive - make sure you do a walk with Karbil round the neighbouring villages to see the traditional ways. Meals, prepared by Sanjay, were excellent - dinner in the main cottage and breakfast under cover outside. There is no doubt that this was the best stay during our time in the region.

Fantastic stay!

Great host ! We enjoyed our stay so much ! Cosy bed , warm water and so yummy  dinner and breakfast !
Kabir and ahana, a young couple running the homestay very professional and they are very helpful ! We have got great lessons in history and we are so sorry to leave today ! Only the best for you !

Small part of heaven in full nature

My trip to kalimpong would not have been amazing if it was not for my stay at Palighar . Be it the ambience , food or stay all of it was beyond our expectations. Kabir and Ahana have created such a serene place, that calls us to go there again. #Home

Beautiful Palighar

A small lodge in Kalimpong offering not only accommodation, but also experience. Kabir and Ahana, the hosts and all the staffs are friendly, thoughtful and caring.  Their hospitality was impressive. Room was spacious, clean and warm. Food was fabulous, served beautifully with Nepalese kind of cooking. Every dish was well explained to us by Sanjay and Ahana to understand the Nepalese culture rooted in Kalimpong area.  We had a chance to do a bit of trekking, fun and relaxing ^^   Cannot skip “Brownie”, the best receptionist ever. 

Strongly recommend for those who like nature and relaxing holidays.

Great Hospitality

Exemplary Farm Stay. Hosts too good and it’s true. Location, ambience , food fabulous. Experience that will strike a cord in your heart.
Nested amidst picture perfect valley this farm provides a serene nature experience…Very near to Kalimpong , while experiencing the farm atmosphere can also visit the bazaar and nearby treasure trove nursery and also the monasteries to get a complete experience  of beautiful Nepali culture.

Exemplary Farmstay

Palighar Homestay is a wonderful rural retreat near Kalimpong in the heart of West Bengal. Our hosts, Kabir and Ahana, made us welcome from the moment we arrived until we departed. Our room was very comfortable with a king-sized bed and had a veranda with lovely garden and valley views on which we could sit and sip homemade lemonade.

Ahana prepared delicious and varied meals with fresh ingredients served outside in the garden under sunshades and fairy lights after dark. During our stay Kabir showed us around their small-holding pointing out the different vegetables and plants they were growing. He led us on a walk from the homestay into the surrounding country to experience the local way of life.

We can fully recommend Palighar as a restful and relaxing place to recharge.

Rural Retreat near Kalimpong

Our stay at PaliGhar was awesomely relaxing and full of memorable little events. We stayed here for 6 nights but every day brought some new experience for us.

The rooms are built in a traditional style using traditional materials. The bamboo and mud walls structure is cool during the day and warm during the nights. The hosts are very particular about not using any chemicals like pesticides so the whole environment around this place is really eco friendly. Yet the amenities and toiletries and the bathroom setup is very neatly done and maintained. You get to see a variety of birds on the property. There are two cute local breed dogs that are very friendly with the visitors. On our last day they were there to see us off right till the end of the road.

The hosts, Kabir and Ahana together cover the two pillars of hospitality very well - Great Food and Personalized Attention. The food has both, the local Nepali Newari cuisine and also Continental, Tibetan cuisine. We appreciated their PaliGhar Khana on multiple occasions, which was a healthy mix of local veggies greens and black dal served with rice. On one occasion we had the Tibetan bread Tingmo which was something new for us. The continental spread with baked veggies in cheese sauce, mashed potatoes, baked chicken, and a tossed salad with home baked herb bread was my personal favourite. All meals invariably and informally included a short engaging conversation with Kabir over Ahana's special secret mix herbal tea, which gave us nice tips on the next activities we planned to do.

While staying at PaliGhar, the recommendation is to explore the surroundings of this farm stay rather than try to go for far off site seeing. The place is in the middle of lots of village trails that go through the wilderness, through farms and backyards of the locals. One gets to see the livestock pens and cow sheds belonging to the locals that stay in the neighbourhood. Kabir takes the visitors around on these pretty walks and shares trivial details about the things that one gets to see. There is a short hike that goes through these village trails, down to the Relli river bed, and that is a location not to miss, with a small natural pool for a cool afternoon splash. Another short hike takes one to Pudung Farms nearby, which has some adventure activities like ATV rides, a bird aviary for visitors, and a restaurant that they call PFC (Pudung Fried Chicken). This place also houses a local Lepcha School, which is an interesting concept school in itself to explore.

PaliGhar is the best place to engage in healthy activities and be treated to awesome lovely food and personalized attention.

Personalized Care Great Food with Variety Very Pretty Location 

Highly Recommended!!! We went to Palighar from Delhi in the December of 2022. Such a wonderful way to explore the country-side! The property is well kept, well stocked; the rooms are rustic and yet comfortable. We were worried about spending peak winters in mud-houses, but one heater was more than enough to get us through. The beds are ultra-comfortable. Property owners Kabir and Ahana will make sure you will not want for anything when it comes to comfort. They stay on the property and are extremely approachable. Our first day Kabir asked us about our interests; he is always ready with an itinerary to suit your mood of the day. And even if it is to laze in the sun, they have a well-placed hammock that gives you a view of the farm and nearby hills. The highlight for us was a walk through the Haat Bazaar (ask Kabir and Ahana to take you to local eats, you won’t regret it!), the hike down to river Relli (we never realised we’d be hungry by the time we reach the river, but Kabir came packed with the best sandwiches) and the village walk (Ahana might as well be the Yellow Pages of Kalimpong!). The food was excellent (give the local food a try—its made at home under Ahana’s supervision), and Kabir will give you small nuggets of information regarding local food preferences, influences and traditional versions. For me and my husband the biggest takeaway was Kabir and Ahana’s hospitality; they are warm, perceptive and eager to make you comfortable (within reason—its a farmstay, after all!). Would we go again? Definitely! Are we recommending it? Without a doubt!

Excellent farmstay!

Pali Ghar is a Full Value Experience .
The Location is  Awesome ,Peaceful ,Great View ,Excellent Nepali Food 
Host and Owners Kabir and Ahana are  Young Generation  Back To Roots Entrepreneurs with Passion for Creating Memorable unforgettable experiences for guest and Keen to maintain Natural Ecosystem.
A must take Holiday for all Nature Lovers and sharing the Joyful Enthusiasm of Owners.
