This was my wife's and my first ever visit to Sikkim, and having stayed at a couple of other places in Gangtok and Darap, we landed in Mr.Ganesh's homestay at Martam village.

The access road to the property is currently under construction, but Mr.Ganesh himself drove down to the main road and guided our car driver to the place.

The room provided to us was spacious and warm, supplied with room heater and hot water - very cozy. We spent the new year 2023 here with other guests over a campfire, local cuisine and taste some of the local millet-based drink (Chaang). Mr. Ganesh's entire family, including his wife, Mrs. Padma, his parents and even his visiting sister's family were very warm and welcoming and answered all our questions related to their place and customs very patiently.

The next morning, after a traditional, yet filling breakfast, we went on a walk through the cardamom fields and forests of Upper Martam, returning via a very steep winding route through forests and a century-old cave temple of Lord Shiva. We got to eat hot food at a villager's home on the way back.

The hosts were very welcoming all through our two-day stay, and it was lovely to know them and the place, and experience the wonderful nature in and around their home. My wife and I loved every bit of the stay there, and we would recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic homestay experience.
