Sillery Gaon • Kalimpong • 6,000 FT
The Story of Our Himalayan Sanctuary
Discover the quiet poetry of Sillery Gaon, our family-run homestay ethos, and an anthology of moments captured in the clouds.
Angan Homestay was born from a singular passion: to share the raw, quiet magnificence of Sillery Gaon with travelers who long for genuine peace away from crowded hill stations.
Perched at an elevation of 6,000 feet, Sillery Gaon derives its poetic name from the abundant green "Sillery" plants that flourish across these misty slopes. Here, mornings begin not with alarms, but with the melodious calls of Himalayan whistling thrushes and the first golden rays illuminating the sacred Kanchenjunga massif.
"We believe a homestay should never feel like an impersonal hotel. It should feel like returning to family in the mountains."
Every meal we serve is home-cooked with locally sourced, organic hill produce — freshly plucked greens, farm-grown lentils, local dairy, and warm rotis, served alongside steaming pots of authentic Darjeeling tea.
Far from commercialized tourism, this gentle Himalayan hamlet offers pristine nature and rich cultural heritage.
A gentle 2 km walk from our doorstep leads to Ramitey Dara, renowned for offering the longest single view of the Teesta River winding through 14 emerald curves with Kanchenjunga above.
Built over 330 years ago by the Lepcha rulers, Damsang Fort is located within a 4 km scenic forest hike. Walk through ancient pine woods and discover historic ruins.
A peaceful natural clearing surrounded by tall coniferous trees. Ideal for quiet contemplation, picnic lunches, and birdwatching for scarlet minivets and laughingthrushes.
Sillery Gaon serves as an ideal base for extended Silk Route explorations, including Zuluk, Gnathang Valley, Kupup Lake, Pedong, and Lava Monastery.
