I spent a week here on a work trip. Hidden Forest Retreat is a real oasis in Gangtok. It is tucked well off the road in beautiful gardens, so it is really quiet. Despite being a series of low rise cabins, each room has an excellent view across the forested ranges. There is a wonderful covered deck coming dining venue with the same great view. The family who run the retreat are very hospitable and help source many supplies and services that we needed. The home cooked local food was delicious.

Comfortable room + balcony +Gangtok views, best meals in our 21 day tour + fast and friendly service
What a gem this place is. A small 12 room hotel, gardens fronting entrance ,elsewhere growing vegetables and salad stuffs used in meals. Helpful, fast and friendly service. Our demanding itinerary meant we were especially pleased to have such a wonderfully relaxing place to stay at end of day. The gardens and glasshouses where guests can walk are a complete delight and so were our meals - cooked with fresh ingredients straight from the garden. If you stay here you will be in for a treat - cannot speak too highly of this place

A group of 20 university students and 4 staff staying for 12 days, Kesang and her wonderful team looked after us really well. Breakfast and evening meal were delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Kesang is a super host and a useful person to know in Sikkim, always on hand to advise and help us arrange our itinerary. The retreat garden is a beautiful oasis, full of flowers, birds and insects.

The matriarchal eye sees to every last detail of the place and it feels like your Nani’s house in the vacation! Food is brilliant and service over the roof !!

We stayed for three nights in mid June 2022. The rooms were good, the view was excellent and the food was delicious. Their service was persona; and with genuine warmth. Not far from the market area and taxis were available on phone call. Will recommend this retreat for n enjoyable stay at Gangtok.

Beautifully maintained homestay with care taken for need of guests. I travelled with my elderly parents and they had the most comfortable time with food and the helpful service of the staff. Place is at a beautiful location with all rooms having balcony with great view. Being monsoon we didnt get to see all the bloom and beautiful flowers that i read about but still the garden was pretty and so well maintained. Highly recommended

When we arrived and walked through to the balcony .... I already knew I had come to the best place!! It felt like I was walking into the garden of eden, I got lucky to be there in spring, every flower was in bloom and was the most amazing experience to sit there and have many cups of tea and watch the best garden of the most exotic orchids and a lot more ! I interacted with with staff and the owners Kesang and her sweet mother who welcomed us with so m much grace. we loved our time there and I would be sitting there in a heart beat !!! They also have the best 'many green houses " full of lush plants and passion! if you aren't here ... you are missing an experience that takes your Sikkim holiday to the next level1 Thank you Kesang !
