An idyllic village of Pastanga is located less than 28 km drive from Gangtok, yet it seems a world away. The village is very rich in culture and folklore; and is surrounded by hills covered with pristine forests and cascading streams. Small rivulets cut through the landscape and appealing orchids bloom on tree tops

The hospitality of the local communities & their authentic rural lifestyle blended with the serene natural setting forms the major attraction for visitors coming to Pastanga. The uniqueness of the village is the empowerment of women, who apart from guiding the tourist in their colorful and traditional dresses also take a leading role in music, dance craft activities and hospitality of the guests.

Visitors to Pastanga will be able to witness traditional Bhutai and Rai (one of the ethnic Nepali communities of Sikkim) houses that have remained virtually unchanged for many years. A walk through cardamom plantations to visit a sacred waterfall and observe daily village life is a treat for visitors. The village forest has many medicinal plants and different species of bamboos.

Pastanga is an ideal place for visitors who would love to     experience traditional Sikkimese village life. Guests get an opportunity to stay in unpolluted verdant surroundings and get exposed to traditional village life like their dance, music, crafts etc.  For the more adventurous enthusiasts trekking can be organized to Khedi.
