Homestay with Locals Namchi Town, South Sikkim, India http://www.hotsia.com > Namchi Town, Sikkim State, India > Homestay with Locals Namchi Town, South Sikkim, India Travel information about Sikkim State (SIKKIM), India (INDIA) Mr.Hotsia recommends hotels in Sikkim Siliguri. I traveled from Gangtok to stay in Namchi for 4 nights, then visited other towns and returned to stay one more night in Namchi before heading back to Siliguri to continue to Assam.
In Namchi, I stayed at a hotel for 2 nights. The rest of the time I stayed with genuine local villagers, not in a homestay, but I asked to stay with them to experience the authentic Nepali atmosphere. The family I stayed with spoke Nepali. They live on a mountain with cool weather all year round and beautiful views. Their kitchen is an earthen kitchen. I saw them cooking traditional Nepali food and eating with their hands together. In the morning, they gather to drink local tea made from fresh cow's milk. In the morning, his wife would milk the cow to boil milk for tea and prepare other meals.
For the locals here, tea is served in the morning, breakfast at 9:00 AM, lunch at 3:00 PM, and dinner around 8-9 PM. I was very impressed with this house and its people. They kindly let me stay, wear their traditional clothes, took me sightseeing around Namchi, and taught me how to make traditional food like MoMo. I witnessed cow milking, local liquor brewing, drank Utumba (millet wine), saw Nepali spirit worship rituals, and many more. I hope friends enjoy the clip.
This is something rare to see, even Indians themselves don’t often witness such scenes. mr.hotsia travel with passion
