Bamboo Retreat

First of all Bamboo retreat is for those who seeking solitude from crowded place and noisy atmoshphere. It is not in Gangtok and set on rumtek road which is 35 mins away by car from Main Gangtok. It is a boutique hotel which room base on Tibetean culture and colors. You will find every room is seperated from other. It is hidden pearl inside the green mountain, you will have pleasant smile on your face once you see colorful and traditionally sikkim paintings on their wall. Suraj Basnet(Manager) will be one who welcomes you and allows to get settle in comfort. He is very informative about the place and very helpful in understanding your needs. Bydway he is very good listener which I personally Liked it. He gave us the best room of this hotel which lies on the top of the hotel like cherry on cake. Nathula is name of our room where we stayed. Room ambience is perfect in color, light, bean bag, bed and everything is there for your comfort. Food is another USP of this hotel and kitchen staff is very experineced as they add soothing and everlasting taste to it. I recommend to taste Thukpa as it will snatch your all tiredness which we used to do at the end of the day. Dev is a guy who serve the food to our room and at the restaurent. He has very goood bass in his voice and face very similar to dev anand. I enjoyed my time there and they are best in gangtok.

hotel staff especially manager suraj were quite helpful.he arranged all our taxis including nathula pass by requesting him through phone calls. Mr Davo, served everything to us very nicely. they provided best food i had during my sikkim trip. However, there is no other hotel nearby so you dont have any other option except eating in the hotel itself in the evening. Driver Ashish was the best driver we got among all. if you are north indian, you must try alloo paratha there. if you love shopping in the evening leisure time, you would not like this hotel because it is quite far from gangtok, in a peaceful area. Gangtok view from the hotel in the night was beautiful.

I booked two rooms. One of the rooms was small but the suite room was really good and huge. The hospitality was simply amazing. There is a roadside parking available. This resort is far from the main city, around 20 kms. It is pretty close to the Rumtek monastery. The views from the room were amazing. I felt safe there with my family. The owner was very humble.

Stayed for just one day in June 15 though i will remember it for life time..theme based rooms, beautiful garden, small library, mouth watering food, breathtaking view of Gangtok in night..everything was near to perfect..It is bit far from city and close to Rumtek monastry.
