Description

This hamlet contains around 30 households who are largely reliant on agriculture, but some of the locals have come up with the concept of running a homestay, which has been growing in popularity as the number of guests has increased The trekkers who descend from Phalut to spend the night here before continuing to Riddi or Srikhola are the majority of the tourists. Gorkhey is a valley covered by a thick pine forest with a tiny river running through it, and it is one of the lesser-known sites in the Darjeeling hills. The Gorkehy Khola, which divides Sikkim and West Bengal, is the name of the river. Gorkhey has a relatively small population, with just 30 households dwelling in the village. While the majority of the people rely on agriculture, others have come up with the concept of starting a guesthouse. The residents of the valley are extremely kind and treat guests with great respect. Gorkhey is the place to go if you want to spend some alone time in the presence of Mother Nature.

The sound of the river’s cascading water and the scenery of the river create a dreamlike atmosphere. The property’s exterior resembles that of Switzerland.
