Homestays in North Bengal — Rangli & Sittong 3
Two handpicked homestays run by families we know personally — a forested hillside home in the North Bengal hills, and a row of cottages in Darjeeling's "Orange Village." Real hospitality, not a hotel checklist.
Gaden Home Stay
A red-roofed hillside home wrapped in forest, run by a family who treats every guest like their own. Wake up to birdsong and mountain air.

Why Gaden is the best homestay in Rangli
Gaden Home Stay sits on a forested hillside in Rangli Zimba Dhura, in the hills of North Bengal. Guests searching for the best homestay in Rangli choose Gaden for its red sloped roof and prayer flags catching the wind — a warm, family-run home rather than a hotel, where meals are cooked fresh each day and guests are looked after like relatives.
Rooms open onto a shared balcony facing thick forest, and mornings here start with birdsong, mist over the hills, and the smell of tea brewing in the kitchen below. It's an easy base for exploring the surrounding tea gardens and the quieter villages of the region — without giving up the comfort of a proper bed and hot water.
Gaden Home Stay is a unit of Canvas Journey Holidays, so your stay can also be booked as part of a wider North Bengal hills itinerary, with transport and sightseeing arranged for you.

Why Drishya is the best homestay in Sittong 3
Drishya Home Stay is set in Sittong 3, part of the Sittong Khasmahal cluster of villages in the Darjeeling hills, known across North Bengal as the "Orange Village" for the orchards that cover its slopes. Guests looking for the best homestay in Sittong 3 choose Drishya for its row of wooden cottages with a shared porch, lit up softly each evening — a quiet, family-run stay rather than a resort.
On a clear day the full Kanchenjunga range is visible from the property. Between November and January, the surrounding hillsides turn gold with ripening oranges, and the air carries the smell of citrus and pine. The rest of the year, Sittong stays green, misty and calm — a favourite with birdwatchers and anyone looking to slow down.
Drishya Home Stay is a unit of Canvas Journey Holidays, so your stay can also be arranged as part of a wider Darjeeling hills itinerary, with transport and sightseeing organised for you.
