What truly stood out was the attached kitchen—fully equipped, so I could cook whatever I liked, which gave a homely feel. The location is also a big plus—just walking distance from Kalighat Mandir and very close to the jatin metro station. The dormitory infrastructure is clean, modern, and comfortable.

The property is set 2.1 km from Japanese Peace Pagoda, 7.8 km from Ghoom Monastery and 8.1 km from Tibetan Buddhist Monastery Darjeeling.

Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip in India, because of how awesome the owner is and the atmosphere he created. From the moment I walked in I was welcomed and invited to drinks and we spent the next few nights hanging out and making music. And if you're planning on going to Sikkim after, the owner is from Sikkim and also has a hostel in Gangtok! Highly recommended. Thank you Karma and Samit!
