Alongside farming activities, there is a good quality farm-stay facility to accommodate visitors at Kalimpong Village Retreat. We seek guests who are sensitive to and appreciate the peace of this traditional hill community and the beauty of the surrounding natural area. The farm is located in an area peculiarly rich in flora and fauna.

Our aim is to ensure that visitors contribute positively to the local economy and environment. Ecotourism will create more direct employment opportunities for locals, in terms of Staff members, Trekking guides, Naturalists, Village Homestay, and other farm-related work.
