About this property

About this property

Tucked away in a pristine, quiet pocket of East Sikkim along the historic Old Silk Route, our homestay sits directly on the banks of the Rangpo Khola river. Surrounded by dense, emerald forests and dramatic green hills, Rolep is an untouched paradise designed for those who want to slow down, breathe fresh mountain air, and reconnect with nature.

At Rolep River Retreat, we combine the rugged, wild beauty of Sikkim with the warmth of traditional hospitality. Wake up to the gentle mist rising off the water, spend your afternoon angling for trout or exploring hidden waterfalls, and spend your evenings sharing stories around a warm meal.
