Don't be scared away by the "adopted by Mayfair Hotels and Resorts" line on the sign: this is a genuine home stay. Accommodation is in two humble cabins Shiva and Radha have built on their property, each with two small bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Each cabin also has a little covered porch out front with a rocking chair, a great... More

We visited Darap in February 2013 and what a lovely experience! Unfortunately we were there for only one evening but could easily have enjoyed their hospitality for a few more nights. The organic home cooked meal was delicious and was served by the family with such reverence. Sitting around the fire watching the ful moon come up while the family... More

Anyday a better choice than staying at the concrete hotel rooms in Pelling. Daragaon Village retreat managed by Shiva and Radha is a great location for a getaway with family 'n friends. Six of us stayed there for 3 days and 3 nights and enjoyed to the max. Go try it.

Darap home stay managed by Mr Shiva Gurung and his wife Radha was a heavenly place in peaceful village of Darap. We stayed there for two days and enjoyed the hospitality of Sikkim with a small library, excellent local cuisine and a home like atmosphere. Wish we could have stayed for long but couldn't due to shortage of time. Dr... More

I along with few others stayed at this little gem of a place during the month of May. Enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts Shiva and Radha and loved the company of their little son Probal.Loved the village tour and hopefully will be involved in the developmental activity of the village as requested by Shiva in future.

If you are a morning person, do walk up to the limbo village (about 800 metres uphill) to see the Kanchendzonga at sunrise. Pelling is about 5 kms away from Darap. Most... More

Shiva and Radha will treat you like family and you'll also meet my free spirited buddy Prabal, their little son. Rooms are wooden lodge like, basic, comfy and clean, making for good sleep. refer pics.... More

I can only assume that those who didn't love this place stayed in the goat shed next door, because Dara Gaon Village Retreat is a charming, authentic and comfortable place to live in the misty valleys of Sikkim. After an awful time in the graceless Newa Regency in Pelling, we moved to this homestay where we were very happy for... More
