Our Story

Lama Dara Homestay began as a small dream to create a peaceful home in the hills of Samthar, Kalimpong where guests could slow down and reconnect with nature. Inspired by the charm of colorful hillside cottages and open green spaces, we built our homestay to feel warm, welcoming, and close to nature. What started as a family effort has grown into a place where travelers are treated like family, sharing home-cooked meals, quiet evenings, and unforgettable mountain memories. Every stay at Lama Dara Homestay reflects our love for the hills, simple living, and heartfelt hospitality.
