Tabakoshi Homestay

The homestay is located on the banks of the Rongbong River in the heart of the Tabakoshi nature hamlet. This one-of-a-kind property is owned by a humble individual and his family. The property is one of the most distinctive homestays in the Darjeeling district, let alone Mirik, in our opinion.

The property has been meticulously organised to meet the needs of all guests. The homestay has been thoughtfully designed with herbs, shrubs, and green plants, as well as a variety of colourful flowering plants, and is surrounded by extensive tea gardens and orange trees. This homestay is made up of a small variety of cactus, massive trees that serve as sheds, and other plants. The homestay also has a small pond with a variety of colourful fish, which adds to the charm of the property.

The homestay has plenty of open space and a variety of plantations. There is parking available.

The hosts prepare the food themselves. In this kitchen, there is no professional chef. There is only local food available, such as rice, chapatti, vegetables, chicken, and so on.

Tabakoshi is only 35 kilometres from Darjeeling town and 58 kilometres from NJP railway station and Bagdogra airport. Tabakoshi has become a new favourite offbeat attraction for both locals and tourists as a result of these qualities.

The route via Bagdogra airport or New Jalpaiguri Railway station- After crossing Mirik Bazar, proceed from Bagdogra or NJP to Siliguri, then to Mirik, then to Thurbu tea factory, and then to Rangbang River valley Gopaldhara Tea Garden bottom Division, also known as Tabakosi. Travel time is estimated to be two hours.

The route via Darjeeling Town – From Darjeeling town, take the route to Ghoom Railway Station for 8 kilometres, then turn right towards Sukhia Pokhari, from Sukhia Pokhari to Pokhriabong, then from Pokhriabong to Rangvang River Valley Gopal Dhara Tea Garden bottom Division, also known as Tabakosi. Travel time from Darjeeling Town is approximately one and a half hours.

Imagine yourself in a lovely homestay surrounded by tea gardens as far as the eye can reach and the gurgle of a flowing river just outside the settlement. There are no daily responsibilities to attend to, so you can simply relax and enjoy the serenity of the mountains. That would be fantastic, wouldn’t it? Tabakoshi is one of those places where your strained eyes may unwind, and your stressed souls can find solace.

Tabakoshi, set amid lush green tea plantations, completely immersed in nature’s splendour and the looming majestic hills. Tabakoshi, also known as Tamakoshi, is a small hamlet located near the confluence of the Rambhang River and the Sagmaru and Gopaldhara Tea Gardens in the foothills of the Himalayas. Unlike the crowds of Mirik or Dooars, the region is largely unknown to tourists and is calm, yet it is quickly gaining prominence as a unique travel destination.

The village is in the lower division of the world-famous eight Tea Gardens, at an elevation of 3500 feet in the Rangbhang Khola riverbed.

Gopaldhara, Siyok, Turzum, Sungma, Chamong, Magarjung, Thurbu, and Nagri T.E. are among the eight Tea Gardens that make up Tabakoshi. Green organic tea gardens and virgin woodlands surround the tourist site. The river Rangbang, which flows through the valley, adds to the grandeur of the area.

Around 06 kilometres from Tabakoshi is the famed Sumendu Lake, also known as Mirik Lake. Mirik’s Bokar Monastery, as well as All of Mirik’s attractions, including Devi Sthan, Shri Mangal Dham’s temple, and vistas like Rai Dhap, are within 12 kilometres of Tabakoshi. Darjeeling is about 32 kilometres away.
