Best Homestay in Darjeeling just like Home
'Heyagriva' or should we call it Paradise for Tourists, is indeed one of the best Homestay anyone can find in Darjeeling. Everything about this homestay was perfect and remarkable. Special thanks to Paulzor Bhaiyya and his wife, Arpan Bhaiyya, Amit Bhaiyya and Lopsang Bhaiyya for making this trip memorable and special. Starting from the view to the hospitality to the food to the furry babies to the stories told by Paulzor bhaiyya was just incredible. Thanks a lot Heyagriva for this wonderful trip. This trip will always hold a special place in my heart forever .Don't even think twice before booking this place unless you want to miss this lovely experience. The most noteworthy thing about this homestay is Paulzor bhaiyya. He will make you feel at home. And not to forget about their lovely fur babies Brady, Candy, Simba , Brownie and the Overfriendly Cat. This Homestay has the best Morning and Night View and if the weather is clear you can view Kanchenjunga from your balcony. Everything was perfect from A to Z. Hope to visit this place again soon.

The best homestay in Darjeeling
Heyagriva is one of the best homestays you can ever find in Darjeeling. Starting from Paulzor bhaiyya to Amit and arpan bhaiyya evryone was extremely sweet and welcoming to us. The food, the view, the intiniary set by Paulzor bhaiyya everything was so perfect. Thanks a lot for making this trip so memorable and for being such a great host. Never thought Darjeeling was so beautiful, thank you for showing us this beautiful side of Darjeeling. I didn't miss home even for a second, Heyagriva feels like your second home and i will definitely visit again. Special thanks to Amit bhaiyya for waiting for us so patiently in every location. I already miss everything about this homestay starting from the people to the amazing food to candy, Brady, Simba and the overfriendly cat and of course the amazing views. Don't even give a second thought to it if you want to experience the local cuisine and the culture Heyagriva is the best place to do it. :)

Great homestay!
Our stay was delightful! We really felt at home. The food was delicious and diverse. We liked so much that we came back from the city to have dinner every single day. Paulzor is a fantastic host with a great deal of stories from his mountaineering adventures. Also he helped us with everything we needed.
The location is excellent, sufficiently away from the buzz of the city but just 10 minutes walk to the center. The views are gorgeous

Best place best owner
it's my second time staying at this homestay, and as usual, my experience is awesome. The foods and the behavior of the owners are very good. The view from the homestay is just awesome. If one is visiting this homestay, one does not need to go to Tiger Hill to watch the sunrise. I highly recommend this homestay for staying in Darjeeling.

Heyagriva at Darjeeling
We had a wonderful time in Darjeeling and Heyagriva was the major contributing factor. Hard to beat a property where one can witness a beautiful sunrise, mountain views and starry nights from the open terrace when the sky is clear. We also witnessed that 'magical moment' of sun rise on the day of our check out. No need to go to Tiger point. You can view it from the terrace.
This bed and breakfast felt like living with family and Paulzor was like a cousin who hooked you up with anything and everything in his power. Let him book the taxis for your sight seeing. You will not get a better rate on your own.
As far as food is concerned, take our word for it, just let them cook for you. The home cooked meals are so good we didn’t feel like eating at any restaurants. I’m not sure how they managed it, but everybody in our family (from elderly to a toddler) loved all the meals and ate until they were stuffed. We can’t even manage to do that at home. Let them know your likes/dislikes and dietary restrictions and they take care of the rest.
The property is 15 minute walking distance from mall road, which is a major attraction for shopping and restaurants. The rooms were not misleading, they were as shown in the pictures. All that being said, the 5 star view and the hospitality compensated for any minor short comings with this property. I would strongly recommend this place for a family.
One critical point is that the terrace suite with the 180 views of the valley requires A LOT of uneven stair climbing (I believe it’s the 4th or 5th floor). If you have someone with you with serious mobility issues or a lot of kids, this may not be your best option. However, with a 61 year old parent with us and a toddler, we took a gamble and decided to stay here considering we would only be going in and out with them once a day. Which worked out for us.
Now that we are back to our busy lives in New York, all we think about is the relaxing time we had at Heyagriva in Darjeeling. It will be a part of our life long memories.

Just what a Homestay should be!
This was the first time we stayed at a homestay. And we doubt if we can find a better one! Paulzor is an exceptional host. He is knowledgeable, warm and very welcoming. Being a professional trekker himself, he had so many things to say about the mountains around. His family (including his four amazing dogs) made us feel at home right from day one. The rooms are cozy, the food is delicious. We requested Paulzor to arrange for a hike to the Tiger Hill. He arranged for it. Nikhil was the guide. And he was exceptional. He knows all the plants and birds and animals around. He took us to one of the oldest monasteries in Darjeeling on the way to Tiger Hills and it was remarkable how much he knows about Buddhism too! He explained what every painting, every expression, every gesture, every symbol in the monastery meant. If you really want to go around seeing monasteries in Darjeeling/Sikkim, make sure you meet him first and understand the basics. Then you will see the monasteries as in a new light. You will enjoy and appreciate them more. So basically if you are looking for a non-fancy homely stay in Darjeeling, Heyagriva should be your place to go!
